Scientific paper

How a core collapse supernova successfully ``explodes'' is only partially understood. Computer models indicate that the accretion shock wave stalls around 200 km from the newly formed proto-neutron star. Despite the abundance of energy from the gravitational collapse and theories predicting how this energy might reenergize the accretion shock, simulations still fail to produce a robust explosion. Hydrodynamic models play an important role in this analysis. Using hydrodynamic modeling, I will describe the nature of acoustic waves driven by the proto-neutron star and the dissipation of thermal energy by these waves into the critical ``Gain Region.'' Using the criteria for a successful explosion laid out by Janka in 2001, I will then describe the impact that this energy has on a successful restart of the stalled accretion shock.
