Description

In this contribution, we give overview about a current status of multidimensional radiation hydrodynamic simulations of core-collapse supernovae. In addition to 3D hydrodynamics and general relativity, both of which are now considered as the most important ingredients for making successful explosions, we discuss also impacts of nuclear equations of state on the supernova dynamics. We report our recent results on magnetohydrodynamically-driven models, which are expected to provide possible r-process cites.
