Stellar hydrodynamics simulation of core convection in a 25 solar mass
stars on a 1536-cubed grid followed over 57.7 days of star time. Shown
is the vorticity which indicates the "curliness" of the flow and how
turbulent it is, as well as the radial and horizontal velocity
components.


Simulations were performed at the Compute Canada Niagara machine
operated by Scinet, Toronto, by the PPMstar research team consisting
of the Computational Stellar Astrophysics group led by Prof Falk
Herwig at the University of Victoria and the Laboratory of
Computational Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota
led by Prof Paul Woodward. The Victoria team includes CITA national
fellow Dr Robert Andrassy. The simulations were performed with the
PPMstar2.0 code developed by Woodward and his team. Herwig and
Andrassy provided science guidance and setup. All team members were
involved in the actual running of the codes and collaborate on the
analysis of the simulation data.
