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.
