Binary Star Simulations


Dataset: disks1002.nc (netcdf data format, 145 MB)

Spherical grid (450 zones in r, 180 zones in theta, 450 zones in phi)

Variables: density




Dataset: diski1001.nc (netcdf data format, 100 MB)

Spherical grid (225 zones in r, 90 zones in theta, 315 zones in phi)

Variables: density, velocity (r, theta, phi components) (all in scaled units)

Data in EnSight Gold format: case file, geometry file, density.

The blue is a rendering of gas density from a 3D disk simulation. The spiral arms are generated by the tidal forces of the companion star.



Rotating a static dataset from a 3D disk simulation.



Image mock up showing extent of simulation grid and the critical equipotential surface of the companion star. We would run on a bigger grid, covering at least part of the companion so that the dynamics of the tidal stream through the inner lagrange point is included.
