# massive star

This setup models the convective burning shells in a massive star
leading up to core collapse. Some details:

* The initial model is from MESA and is put onto a uniform grid using
the routines in the AMReX Astrophysics initial model repo
(https://github.com/amrex-astro/initial_models) in the
``massive_star`` directory.

* We use simplified-SDC together with aprox19 and an NSE table
(generated from pynucastro)

* The Castro ``drive_initial_convection`` functionality is used to
establish the initial convective velocity field.
