Flame fronts in Supernovae Ia and their pulsational stability    [PDF]

S. I. Glazyrin, S. I. Blinnikov, A. D. Dolgov
The structure of the deflagration burning front in type Ia supernovae is considered. The parameters of the flame are obtained: its normal velocity and thickness. The results are in good agreement with previous work of different authors. After that the question of pulsational instability of the flame subject to plane perturbations is considered. The flame can be unstable if hydrodynamics can be ignored, e.g. in solid-body propellants. However, with account of hydrodynamics we find that the flame in type Ia supernovae is pulsationally stable with realistic parameters of reactions and thermal conduction.
