Binary and Stellar Winds

This is a test run. Constant mass loss rate at 10E-4 solar mass per year, the primary star's mass is 1 solar mass and the secondary is 0.5 solar mass. Separation is 3.999 AU, computation box is 32 AU * 32 AU * 16 AU(z dimension). Gas temperature is 2000K. According to Parker's solar wind solution, the sonic radius of the primary star is 2.5 AU. I specify the wind velocity at 0.5 AU which is 0.23 thus can get the density at that radius from constant mass loss rate.
