Shock waves in stellar pancakes (Brassart & Luminet, 2008 -2010)

Problematics • Stellar pancakes calculated in the affine model (Luminet et al. 1983 - 1989) ==> Elliptical deformations of the star • Stellar pancakes calculated by 3 D hydro (Bicknell & Gingold 1983; Laguna et al. 1993; Fulbright 1996) ==> SPH method (uses artificial viscosity to simulate shock waves) N. B. : Generalized affine model (Ivanov et al. 2001 -2003)

• Disagreement : compression of the stellar core less than in the affine model: max ~ 1. 5 max ~ const for < 10 for > 10 • Due to shock waves occuring during the phase of vertical direction ? ? • Or bad treatment (SPH) of shock waves ?
