Abstract

During a supernova explosion, fluid instabilities are generated because the star is in a hydrodynamically unstable situation, which is like the effects of stirring a fire or blowing air into a hot grill. The resulting mixing of the supernova ejecta may be observable. Here, we briefly discuss the multidimensional simulations of supernovae from very massive stars.
