Stellar Hydrodynamics, Evolution and Nucleosynthesis Group @ Keele
Welcome to the web portal of the SHEN team in the Keele astrophysics group

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.
