Context. Winds of asymptotic giant branch stars are assumed to be driven by radiation pressure on dust. Previously, this process has been modeled with detailed time-dependent simulations of atmospheres and winds assuming spherically symmetric flows. In such models kinetic energy is injected by a variable inner boundary (“piston”) simulating the effects of stellar pulsation. However, the dynamical processes in these atmospheres – convection and pulsations – are actually three-dimensional.
