Watch a 22-minute lecture exploring advanced 3D simulations of Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars and red supergiants using the CO5BOLD code. Dive into the numerical integration of non-local radiation transport and compressible hydrodynamics, with a focus on recent extensions that incorporate dust formation, destruction, radiative acceleration, and transport in larger computational domains. Learn how these simulations reveal wind-generation mechanisms under turbulent conditions, showcasing significant fluctuations in density and temperature that result in heterogeneous dust distributions and clumpy stellar winds. Through video demonstrations and quantitative analysis, examine wind properties and mass-loss rates across models with varying stellar and dust-model parameters.
