We perform two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamics simulations of convective oxygen-shell burning that takes place deep inside a massive progenitor star of a core-collapse supernova. Using a one-dimensional (1D) stellar evolution code, we first calculate the evolution of massive stars with an initial mass of 9–40 M⊙. Four different overshoot parameters are applied, and a CO-core mass trend similar to previous works is obtained in the 1D models. Selecting eleven 1D models that have a coexisting silicon and oxygen layer, we perform 2D hydrodynamics simulations of the evolution for ∼100 s until the onset of core collapse. We find that convection with large-scale eddies and the turbulent Mach number of ∼0.1 is obtained in the models having a Si/O layer with a scale of 108 cm, whereas most models that have an extended O/Si layer up to a few ×109 cm exhibit lower turbulent velocity. Our results indicate that the supernova progenitors that possess a thick Si/O layer could provide the preferred condition for perturbation-aided explosions. We perform the 3D simulation of a 25 M⊙ model, which exhibits large-scale convection in the 2D models. The 3D model develops large-scale (ℓ = 2) convection similar to the 2D model; however, the turbulent velocity is lower. By estimating the neutrino emission properties of the 3D model, we point out that a time modulation of the event rates, if observed in KamLAND and Hyper-Kamiokande, could provide important information about structural changes in the presupernova convective layer.
