Mapping one-dimensional stellar profiles onto multidimensional grids as initial conditions for hydrodynamics calculations can lead to numerical artifacts, one of the most severe of which is the violation of conservation laws for physical quantities such as energy and mass. Here we introduce a numerical scheme for mapping one-dimensional spherically-symmetric data onto multidimensional meshes so that these physical quantities are conserved. We validate our scheme by porting a realistic 1D Lagrangian stellar profile to the new multidimensional Eulerian hydro code CASTRO. Our results show that all important features in the profiles are reproduced on the new grid and that conservation laws are enforced at all resolutions after mapping.

Our results show that all important features in the profiles are reproduced on the new grid and that conservation laws are enforced at all resolutions after mapping. We also introduce a numerical scheme for initializing multidimensional supernova simulations with realistic perturbations predicted by 1D stellar evolution models. Instead of seeding 3D stellar profiles with random perturbations, we imprint them with velocity perturbations that reproduce the Kolmogorov energy spectrum expected for highly turbulent convective regions in stars. Our models return Kolmogorov energy spectra and vortex structures like those in turbulent flows before the modes become nonlinear. Finally, we describe approaches to determining the resolution for simulations required to capture fluid instabilities and nuclear burning. Our algorithms are applicable to multidimensional simulations besides stellar explosions that range from astrophysics to cosmology.
How do massive stars explode? Progress toward the answer is driven by increases in compute power. Petascale supercomputers are enabling detailed three-dimensional simulations of core-collapse supernovae. These are elucidating the role of fluid instab
ilities, turbulence, and magnetic field amplification in supernova engines.
The host galaxies of nearby (z<0.3) core-collapse supernovae and long-duration gamma-ray bursts offer an excellent means of probing the environments and populations that produce these events varied massive progenitors. These same young stellar progen
itors make LGRBs and SNe valuable and potentially powerful tracers of star formation, metallicity, the IMF, and the end phases of stellar evolution. However, properly utilizing these progenitors as tools requires a thorough understanding of their formation and, consequently, the physical properties of their parent host environments. This review looks at some of the recent work on LGRB and SN hosts with resolved environments that allows us to probe the precise explosion sites and surrounding environments of these events in incredible detail.
Efficient computational methods that are capable of supporting experimental measures obtained at constant values of pH and redox potential are important tools as they serve to, among other things, provide additional atomic level information that cann
ot be obtained experimentally. Replica Exchange is an enhanced sampling technique that allows converged results to be obtained faster in comparison to regular molecular dynamics simulations. In this work we report the implementation, also available with GPU-accelerated code, of pH and redox potential (E) as options for multidimensional REMD simulations in AMBER. Previous publications have only reported multidimensional REMD simulations with the temperature and Hamiltonian dimensions. In this work results are shown for N-acetylmicroperoxidase-8 (NAcMP8) axially connected to a histidine peptide. This is a small system that contains only a single heme group. We compare results from E,pH-REMD, E,T-REMD and E,T,pH-REMD to one dimensional REMD simulations and to simulations without REMD. We show that 2D-REMD simulations improve sampling convergence in comparison to 1D-REMD simulations, and that 3D-REMD further improves convergence in comparison to 2D-REMD simulations. Also, our computational benchmarks show that our multidimensional REMD calculations have a small and bearable computational performance, essentially the same as one dimensional REMD. However, in multidimensional REMD a significantly higher number of replicas is required as the number of replicas scales geometrically with the number of dimensions, which requires additional computational resources. In addition to the pH dependence on standard redox potential values and the redox potential dependence on pKa values,we also investigate the influence of the temperature in our results. We observe an agreement between our computational results and theoretical predictions.
We investigate a method to construct parametrized progenitor models for core-collapse supernova simulations. Different from all modern core-collapse supernova studies, which rely on progenitor models from stellar evolution calculations, we follow the
methodology of Baron & Cooperstein (1990) to construct initial models. Choosing parametrized spatial distributions of entropy and electron fraction as a function of mass coordinate and solving the equation of hydrostatic equilibrium, we obtain the initial density structures of our progenitor models. First, we calculate structures with parameters fitting broadly the evolutionary model s11.2 of Woosley et al. (2002). We then demonstrate the reliability of our method by performing general relativistic hydrodynamic simulations in spherical symmetry with the isotropic diffusion source approximation to solve the neutrino transport. Our comprehensive parameter study shows that initial models with a small central entropy ($lesssim 0.4,k_B$ nucleon$^{-1}$) can explode even in spherically symmetric simulations. Models with a large entropy ($gtrsim 6,k_B$ nucleon$^{-1}$) in the Si/O layer have a rather large explosion energy ($sim 4times 10^{50}$ erg) at the end of the simulations, which is still rapidly increasing.
