What constrains the domain size that we can model?
- Very subsonic flows require ~ 10-20 points per scale height so ambient velocities do not dominate.
- Adaptive mesh refinement does not help much for highly stratified NS atmospheres.
Resolving the burning front requires ~10 points in the flame thickness.
Resolving the burning scales limits us to a domain <~ 1 km in 3-d.
