We begin our simulations with postbounce slices from realistic one-dimensional simulations that implement multigroup flux-limited diffusion (MGFLD). The two-dimensional hydrodynamics is evolved using an extended version of the piecewise parabolic method code VH-1. The code makes use of running boundary conditions specified by the one-dimensional MGFLD simulations. Local neutrino heating and cooling and local matter deleptonization, using the neutrino distribution functions from the one-dimensional MGFLD simulations, are included. In the absence of deleptonization and neutrino heating and cooling, postshock convection develops fully on a time scale of 60 milliseconds. The convection is large scale and turbulent. While it perturbs the shock from sphericity, it does not increase the average shock radius relative to the one-dimensional MGFLD results. Deleptonization and neutrino heating and cooling undermine the convection due to net cooling below the gain radius. Both fifteen and twenty-five solar mass models are discussed.
