abstract = {We present a benchmark problem to assess the treatment of
1167+
shock-induced nuclear burning in the context of
1168+
double detonation Type Ia supernovae. In a
1169+
stratified white dwarf model, we implement a
1170+
shock-detection criterion that suppresses burning in
1171+
zones characterized by compression and significant
1172+
pressure gradients, controlled by a tunable
1173+
parameter, fshock. One-dimensional simulations,
1174+
using the open-source Castro suite, were conducted
1175+
across three treatments—burning fully enabled, and
1176+
burning suppressed with fshock = 2/3 and
1177+
fshock = 1—across three spatial resolutions (5.0,
1178+
2.5, and 0.3125 km). At the finest resolution, the
1179+
burning-enabled and fshock = 1 models converge,
1180+
while the fshock = 2/3 front continues to show
1181+
slight offset behavior. Since most simulations are
1182+
carried out at much lower resolutions, our tests
1183+
support the idea that burning in shocks should
1184+
always be disabled in practice. We also observe that
1185+
the behavior of lower-resolution simulations remains
1186+
extremely sensitive to the choice of fshock.}
