[mesa-users] mass loss, rotation, binaries, and a hydrodynamic surface boundary conditions

[David Arnett]

This sounds interesting. It seems that you are exploring a region of
parameter space in which some of our approximations need to be merged into
a more wholistic formulation. We encounter the same sort of issue when we
simulate turbulent convection near a boundary in a star. When the flow is
no longer radial, interesting new things may happen. We should look for
instances in which the purely 1D representation needs more careful thought,
and maybe 3D simulation "spot checks" for guidance.
