Outer Grid Issues
Velocity Plots
Initialization: The low-res model mapped onto the high-res grid.
Initialization: negative velocity is colored non-red, there is no inflow.
20 orbits: Huge difference between this and the low-res model.
20 orbits: Mach number at the inner boundary.
Flux Plots
LaTeX is down. Will fix soon.
For each, (top) is velocity, (middle) is $\log_10$ mass flux, (bottom) is $\log_10$ momentum flux.
[These images are not working at the moment.]
Alternate Method
This method keeps the progenitor at the center while the companion orbits at $R_{sep} \Omega$. The only pseudoforce active on the gas is $-\Omega x \Omega x R_{cm}$.
Radial velocity after 4 orbits.
Negative radial velocity after 4 orbits (no inflow).
Density after 4 orbits, viewed along the equatorial plane.
Density after 4 orbits, viewed along the polar axis.
