Massive Computation for Understanding Core-Collapse Supernova Explosions

Abstract

How do massive stars explode? Progress toward the answer is driven by increases in compute power. Petascale supercomputers are enabling detailed 3D simulations of core-collapse supernovae that are elucidating the role of fluid instabilities, turbulence, and magnetic field amplification in supernova engines.
