Adiabatic Simualtions

[2. Movies | r_out=10a sim]

1. Introduction

This page has links to a few movies from a simualtion for r_out=10a, where r_out is the radius of the simulation boundary and a is the semi-major axis.

Both winds are assumed to be adiabatic and have the temperature at T=35,000K at the stellar surfaces and coast without any net external forces.

2. Movies

In the following simulation, the binary orbit is on the x-y plane and the major axis of the orbit is along the x-axis (+x-axis is in the direction of the apastron). At t=0, the system is at the apastron. The density shown in movies is in cgs units. Times are in units of the orbital period.
