Survey of the core helium flash with dynamic convection

  • 1. Los Alamos National Laboratory

Description

Calculations have been performed to study the dependence on model parameters of convectively heating the region interior to the core convection zone for core helium flash models. We find that interior heating always occurs on a time scale significantly shorter than the evolutionary time scale even at the peak of the flash
