In nine 2D simulations of a helium stream hitting realistic white dwarf surfaces, all cases ignite a helium detonation—usually near the core–shell transition—but one thick-stream 1.0 M☉ case fails to propagate.

Stream-Driven Ignition of a Realistic Undisturbed Helium Shell on a White Dwarf
In nine 2D simulations of a helium stream hitting realistic white dwarf surfaces, all cases ignite a helium detonation—usually near the core–shell transition—but one thick-stream 1.0 M☉ case fails to propagate.
