MHD Accretion Disk in Binary Star System

MHD Accretion Disk in Binary Star System#

Domain: Model a 2D accretion disk in a binary star system.

Finite Element Mesh: Use a structured mesh for the 2D disk geometry.

Boundary

Conditions:

  • Inflow conditions representing accretion from the companion star.

  • Outflow conditions at the inner and outer disk boundaries.

Initial Conditions:

  • Establish an initial density and temperature profile for the accretion disk.

  • Include a magnetic field configuration consistent with accretion processes.

These test cases provide a starting point for simulating MHD Astrophysical phenomena using the Finite Element Method. The choice of mesh type and refinement, numerical methods, and solver settings will depend on the specific requirements and complexities of the astrophysical scenario being modeled. It’s also important to consider adaptive mesh refinement strategies for capturing dynamic and localized features accurately.
