“…In the regime of sufficiently high optical depth, the effect of the neutrino source terms could alternatively be expressed by non-ideal terms for heat conduction, viscosity, and diffusion of lepton number (e.g., Imshennik and Nadezhin 1972;Bludman and van Riper 1978;Goodwin and Pethick 1982;van Weert 1983, 1984;Yudin and Nadyozhin 2008), but this approach would break down at low optical depth. The customary approach to Eqs.…”

Multi-dimensional fluid flow plays a paramount role in the explosions of massive stars as core-collapse supernovae. In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) simulations of these phenomena have matured significantly. Considerable progress has been made towards identifying the ingredients for shock revival by the neutrino-driven mechanism, and successful explosions have already been obtained in a number of selfconsistent 3D models. These advances also bring new challenges, however. Prompted by a need for increased physical realism and meaningful model validation, supernova theory is now moving towards a more integrated view that connects multi-dimensional phenomena in the late convective burning stages prior to collapse, the explosion engine, and mixing instabilities in the supernova envelope. Here we review our current understanding of multi-D fluid flow in core-collapse supernovae and their progenitors. We start by outlining specific challenges faced by hydrodynamic simulations of core-collapse supernovae and of the late convective burning stages. We then discuss recent advances and open questions in theory and simulations.
