Entrainment in 3D hydrodynamics simulations of neon burning
Abstract
Our knowledge of massive star evolution is limited by uncertainties linked with multi-dimensional processes taking place in stellar interiors. Important examples are convective boundary mixing (CBM) and entrainment, which are implemented in 1D stellar evolution models assuming simplified prescriptions. 3D hydrodynamics models can improve these prescriptions by studying realistic multi-D processes for a short timerange (minutes or hours). In these proceedings, we present results coming from a new set of high-resolution hydrodynamics simulations of a neon-burning shell in a massive star, and discuss how the entrainment law can be calibrated from 3D models and then used to improve 1D stellar evolution prescriptions.
