Castro (Compressible Astrophysics): An adaptive mesh, astrophysical compressible (radiation-, magneto-) hydrodynamics simulation code for massively parallel CPU and GPU architectures.
Begin creating a problem to study the lateral movement of a He flame in the accreted layer of a white dwarf.
PR motivation
We want to determine how various shock detection thresholds and burning treatments affect the initial flame movement in a double detonation model. In particular, we seek to see if the results of disabling/enabling burning in detected shock zones converges as resolution becomes finer.
PR checklist
[ ] test suite needs to be run on this PR
[ ] this PR will change answers in the test suite to more than roundoff level
[ ] all newly-added functions have docstrings as per the coding conventions
[ ] the CHANGES file has been updated, if appropriate
[ ] if appropriate, this change is described in the docs
