Stellar Hydrodynamics, Evolution and Nucleosynthesis Group @ Keele
Stellar Hydrodynamics
Hydrodynamic processes in the stellar interior that are important in terms of mixing for the production of the elements.
Stellar Evolution
Stellar evolution of both low- and intermediate mass stars and massive stars, the latter including rotation. We are working towards a consistent simulations of stars of any mass, including non-standard physics.
Nucleosynthesis
Highly resolved nucleosynthesis simulations in a wide variety of environments.

Structure and chemical evolution inside massive stars:
In this directory, you can find a few animations giving insights on what is happening inside a massive star.
