more boundary errors..:

Fig 1. Streamlines which pass near the companion.

Flow Pattern

Links provided at the bottom of this section lead to interactive figures.

Fig 1. Streamlines which pass near the companion.

Fig 2. Streamlines which pass through the poles.

I tried to draw the arrows in the same place on both views. There are two additional green lines on the right image to highlight the flow diverging. (P)rogenitor and (C)ompanion are labeled in red.

Blue: Gas experiences a 'slingshot' effect as it approaches the companion, creating a dense region behind the companion (rotating 'up' in this image).

Orange: The outer edge of this 'slingshot' area, where the effect is most pronounced. Gas is quickly deflected due to the rotating frame.

Green: THESE STREAMLINES ARE NOT SHOWN IN FIG 1. Flow which does not directly interact with the companion will approach ORANGE region, where it is split toward the poles.

Interactive Figures

Hold LEFT mouse to rotate. Hold RIGHT mouse to zoom. Hold LEFT+RIGHT to pan.
