There are three references in this model.

Outside the computation box:

We can get field in the reference of co-rotating primary after integration. So that we can get the consistent flux on the boundary of the computation box.

Inside the computation box (include the boundaries): First compute the field in the reference of co-rotatng companion.

Special attention should be paid to the boundaries since they may swell or shrink along the orbital motion. Which introduce additional flux.

To include orbital change:

may be changing. is the relative location of companion to the primary, and is basically in the inertial reference. It's initial condition is exactly .

Therefore, and is important to incorporate drag force and drag moment. These will give coupled orbital equation.

Question: In low-mass companion binary systems, what is the order in all these phenomenons below :

thermal non-uniformity, orbital change, mass change, frictional force, rotation of the companion and even EM field

Remark: Resolution is important as computational matter, order is the "resolution" in physics and modelling.
