One- and two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of the neutrino-driven supernova explosion of a 15 M☉ star are performed for the phase between stagnation of the prompt shock and 1 s after core bounce. Variation of the neutrino (ν) fluxes from the ν sphere shows that explosion energy and timescale, initial proto-neutron star mass, and explosive nucleosynthesis of Fe group elements depend sensitively on the strength of the ν heating during the first few 100 ms after shock formation. Convective overturn in the ν-heated region behind the shock is a crucial help for the explosion only in a narrow window of ν luminosities. Here powerful explosions can be obtained only in the multidimensional case, primarily because the overturn increases the efficiency of ν energy deposition by allowing cool postshock matter to penetrate inward to the region of strongest heating, while heated gas can quickly rise outward, thus reducing its energy loss due to reemission of neutrinos. This interpretation is supported by the different increase of the explosion energy with time in one- and two-dimensional models. For higher core ν fluxes spherically symmetrical models also yield energetic explosions, while for lower luminosities even with convection, no strong explosions occur. Cool gas in downflows from the shock to the heating zone loses leptons by νe emission but gains energy by interactions with the core ν fluxes. However, because it does not get very n rich and its entropy increases, it is not accreted into the low-entropy, neutronized surface of the neutron star. Because of the absence of significant accretion while the explosions develop on a timescale of a few 100 ms, the initial proto-neutron star (baryonic) masses are only ~1.2 M☉. Turbulent activity around the neutron star is transient; at 200-300 ms after shock formation, the turbulent layer decouples from the ν-heated zone and moves outward behind the supernova shock. The shock shows deformation on large scales. Inhomogeneities of temperature T, density ρ, and velocity with contrasts of order unity on scales of 30°-45° in the shell behind the shock could help to explain anisotropies and radial mixing observed in SN 1987A. When the supernova shock reaches the entropy step of the Si-O interface at 5700 km about 400-500 ms after bounce, the ρ inversion between the dense shell and the low-density, “hot bubble” region around the neutron star begins to steepen into a strong reverse shock that forms a sharp discontinuity in the ν-driven wind from the nascent neutron star. The deceleration of the wind expansion might trigger significant, anisotropic fallback of matter to the neutron star on a timescale of several seconds.
