Low Mach Number Modeling of Convection in Helium Shells on Sub-Chandrasekhar White Dwarf. I. Methodology [electronic resource]
In this paper, we assess the robustness of a low Mach number hydrodynamics algorithm for modeling helium shell convection on the surface of a white dwarf in the context of the sub-Chandrasekhar model for Type Ia supernovae. We use the low Mach number stellar hydrodynamics code, MAESTRO, to perform t...
