Simulating the Convective Urca Process with Multiple Urca Pairs in a Simmering White Dwarf
3D simulations find that the convective Urca process reduces mixing efficiency near the convective boundary in a simmering white dwarf but does not restrict the overall size of the convection zone, with the A=23 pair having the largest effect.
