Challenges in 2D Stellar Modeling
Traditionally, stellar structure and evolution have been modeled with a series of concentric spherical shells. This description allows the star to be modeled in 1 dimension, greatly simplifying the calculations. However, as our understanding of stars becomes more advanced, the effects of non-symmetr...
