TURBULENT CHEMICAL DIFFUSION IN CONVECTIVELY BOUNDED CARBON FLAMES

It has been proposed that mixing induced by convective overshoot can disrupt the inward propagation of carbon deflagrations in super-asymptotic giant branch stars. To test this theory, we study an idealized model of convectively bounded carbon flames with 3D hydrodynamic simulations of the Boussines...
