Low Mach Number Modeling of Type Ia supernovae. IV. White Dwarf Convection [electronic resource]
We present the first three-dimensional, full-star simulations of convection in a white dwarf preceding a Type Ia supernova, specifically the last few hours before ignition. For these long-time calculations, we use our low Mach number hydrodynamics code, MAESTRO, which we have further developed to tr...
