Explosive Nucleosynthesis: Coupling Reaction Networks to AMR Hydrodynamics
Abstract
In recent years the technique of Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) has been successfully applied to several astrophysical problems. This method should also allow a consistent multi-dimensional modelling of supernova explosions. In this contribution we address some of the computational difficulties encountered when trying to apply the AMR method to explosive nucleosynthesis and supernova envelope ejection.
