Chemical Mixing Induced by Internal Gravity Waves in Intermediate-mass Stars

Internal gravity waves can cause mixing in the radiative interiors of stars. We study this mixing by introducing tracer particles into 2D hydrodynamic simulations. Following the work of Rogers & McElwaine, we extend our study to different masses (3, 7, and 20 M _⊙ ) and ages (ZAMS, midMS, and TA...
