Modelling Cepheids and RR Lyrae Stars
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2018
Abstract
We review the recent nonlinear hydrodynamical results and the numerical problems to be solved by the next generation of codes. The behavior of the Fourier parameters and double-mode RR Lyrae pulsation will be discussed in detail. We emphasize the importance of the implementation of the various adaptive-mesh schemes for stellar pulsations. A further goal is the substitution of the artificial viscosity with modern shock capturing methods and a better treatment of radiative transfer. Convection however, must ultimately be included in order to supply the necessary physical mechanism for dissipation.
