Massive stars that end their lives with helium cores in the range of 35 to 65 Msun are known to produce repeated thermonuclear outbursts due to a recurring pair-instability. In some of these events, solar masses of material are ejected in…
Magnetar-powered supernova explosions are competitive models for explaining very luminous optical transits. However, these explosion models were mainly calculated in 1D. Radiation emitted from the magnetar snowplows into the previous…
We have developed a phenomenological turbulent model with one-dimensional (1D) simulation based on Reynolds decomposition. Using this method, we have systematically studied models with different effects of compression, mixing length…
Flame instabilities play a dominant role in accelerating the burning front to a large fraction of the speed of sound in a Type Ia supernova. We present a three-dimensional numerical simulation of a Rayleigh-Taylor unstable carbon flame,…
Supernova remnants (SNRs) are believed to be the major contributors to Galactic cosmic rays. The detection of non-thermal emission from SNRs demonstrates the presence of energetic particles, but direct signatures of protons and other ions…
One of the outstanding mysteries surrounding the rich diversity found in supernova remnants (SNRs) is the recent discovery of over-ionized or recombining plasma from a number of dynamically evolved objects. To help decipher its formation…

I review several topics in the structure of supernova remnants. Hydrodynamic instabilities in young remnants may give rise to the cellular structure that is sometimes observed, although structure in the ejecta might also play a role. The…
(abridged) We study the hydrodynamic evolution of a non-spherical core-collapse supernova in two spatial dimensions. We find that our model displays a strong tendency to expand toward the pole. We demonstrate that this expansion is a…

Rayleigh-Taylor (R-T) instabilities in the explosion of SN 1993J are investigated by means of two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations. It is found that the extent of mixing is sensitive to the progenitor's core mass and the envelope…
Here we present the results from two sets of simulations, in two and three spatial dimensions. In two dimensions, the simulations include multifrequency flux-limited diffusion neutrino transport in the "ray-by-ray-plus" approximation,…
The results of recent multi-dimensional simulations of type-II supernovae are reviewed. They show that convective instabilities in the collapsed stellar core might play an important role already during the first second after the formation…
New two-dimensional, high-resolution calculations of a core collapse supernova in a 15 Msol blue supergiant are presented, which cover the entire evolution from shock revival until the first few hours of the explosion. Explosive…
The sources of turbulence in our Galaxy may be diverse, but core-collapse supernovae (SNe) alone provide enough energy to sustain a steady-state galactic turbulence cascade at the observed velocity dispersion. By localizing and analyzing…
A number of applications utilise the energy focussing potential of imploding shells to dynamically compress matter or magnetic fields, including magnetised target fusion schemes. This paper examines the effect of fluid rotation on the…
The processes controlling the complex clump structure, phase distribution, and magnetic field geometry that develops across a broad range of scales in the turbulent interstellar medium remains unclear. Using unprecedentedly high resolution…
Core-collapse supernova remnants are the gaseous nebulae of galactic interstellar media (ISM) formed after the explosive death of massive stars. Their morphology and emission properties depend both on the surrounding circumstellar structure…
