Scientific Grand Challenge: To solve the fully compressible fluid dynamical equations for the motions within the interior of stars on spatial and temporal scales that accurately represent the physics involved.
Scientific Understanding: To test models of compressible turbulence at Reynolds numbers of 10^3-10^5
Computational Challenge: To generate an ensemble of time accurate simulations with realistic boundary conditions and Reynolds numbers that will allow the accurate parameterization of convective turbulence within stars.
Metric: These simulations will require at minimum a three order of magnitude increase in the grid resolution.
