Abstract
Neutrino fast flavor conversion (FFC) typically occurs in extremely dense neutrino environments such as those of core-collapse supernovae (CCNe). The typical distance and time scales at which FFCs take place are much smaller than those accessible to hydrodynamic simulations of CCSNe. In this paper, FFCs are schematically taken into account in spherically symmetric CCSN hydrodynamic simulations and their distinctive effects are delineated.
