Venue: Bob Wright Centre Room A104, University of Victoria
Following the tradition of previous meetings (Los Alamos NM 2005, 2006; Santa Fe NM 2012; Victoria BC 2017; Exeter UK 2019), this no-frills Stellar Hydro Days event will focus on 2D/3D hydrodynamic simulations and processes in stellar interiors, with attendance limited to 35 participants, and an open program encouraging in-depth discussions.
3D Macrophysics: convection, rotation, internal gravity waves (IGWs), magnetic fields
Convective Boundary Mixing (CBM):
Overshooting and convective penetration
Magnetic field and nucleosynthesis effects on CBM and in binary stars
Techniques for integrating 3D CBM insights into 1D models
IGWs:
Lifetime of eigenmodes
Low-frequency excess origins
Role of IGWs in mixing
Interaction between IGWs, rotation, and convection
Radial pulsations and their interaction with IGWs
Asteroseismology: Connecting 3D hydro simulations to observational diagnostics
Technical Challenges
Porting simulations to new computational architectures
Data analysis of large-scale 3D data sets, sharing
Stellar interior 2D/3D hydrodynamics only
No supernovae or stellar atmospheres (except radiation in the diffusion limit)
Inline nuclear reactions only
Stellar evolution limited to creating initial setups and integrating 3D models into 1D

Note: Multiple registrations are accepted, allowing you to update your abstract and other information. You can submit a new registration to add details later (such as your title and abstract). Only your latest submission will be considered for each contribution.
Student Cluster Units https://www.uvic.ca/residence/visitors/cluster/
We have requested 8 cluster units (4 pers each) and 3 single dorm rooms for a total of 35 delegates (at a rate of between $CAD 80 and 90)
Beware: there will be room drop dates 60 and 30 days to be observed
When: May 12-16, 2025
As in past meetings we offer long (45min) contributions for lecture (e.g. methods) and review-style or multi-topic contributions and short (25min) presentation (essentially present results from one topic/paper); we will encourage posters and have poster sessions with leading-in poster flash presentations
We will leave lots of time to for discussion and breakout/unconference sessions
This will be dynamic, a bit chaotic and flexible and of course a lot of fun!
