Thermodynamics of Viscously Heated Circumplanetary Disks
Zhuo Chen, Jing Yang, Xue-Ning Bai
Circumplanetary disks (CPDs) play an important role in the formation of gas giants and their satellites, yet remain poorly understood owing to the lack of observables and comprehen…
GRACE-DG: A Discontinuous Galerkin Method-Based Code for General Nonlinear Coagulation-Fragmentation Equations
Jing Yang, Zhuo Chen, Xue-Ning Bai
Dust plays a crucial role in protoplanetary disks (PPDs) evolution and planet formation, influencing disk dynamics through gas-dust coupling, regulating disk temperature by dominat…
Guangqi: A two-dimensional radiation hydrodynamic code with realistic equation of states
Zhuo Chen, Xue-Ning Bai
We present Guangqi, a new two-dimensional, finite-volume radiation hydrodynamics code designed for high-performance astrophysical simulations. The code simultaneously resolves the…
Bridging the gap between luminous red novae and common envelope evolution: the role of recombination energy and radiation force
Zhuo Chen, Natalia Ivanova
Luminous red novae (LRNe) and their connection to common envelope evolution (CEE) remain elusive in astrophysics. Here, we present a radiation hydrodynamic model capable of simulat…
Bipolar Planetary Nebulae from Outflow Collimation by Common Envelope Evolution
Yangyuxin Zou, Adam Frank, Zhuo Chen +8
The morphology of bipolar planetary nebulae (PNe) can be attributed to interactions between a fast wind from the central engine and dense toroidal shaped ejecta left over from comm…
Solving the Riemann Problem for Realistic Astrophysical Fluids
Zhuo Chen, Matthew S. B. Coleman, Eric G. Blackman +1
We present new methods to solve the Riemann problem both exactly and approximately for general equations of state (EoS) to facilitate realistic modeling and understanding of astrop…
Accretion in Common Envelope Evolution
Luke Chamandy, Adam Frank, Eric G. Blackman +6
Common envelope evolution (CEE) occurs in some binary systems involving asymptotic giant branch (AGB) or red giant branch (RGB) stars, and understanding this process is crucial for…
Planetary Nebulae Shaped By Common Envelope Evolution
Adam Frank, Zhuo Chen, Thomas Reichardt +3
The morphologies of planetary nebula have long been believed to be due to wind shaping processes in which a fast wind from the central star impacts a previously ejected envelope. A…
Accretion in common envelope evolution
Luke Chamandy, Adam Frank, Eric G. Blackman +6
Common envelope evolution (CEE) is presently a poorly understood, yet critical, process in binary stellar evolution. Characterizing the full 3D dynamics of CEE is difficult in part…
Wind-accelerated orbital evolution in binary systems with giant stars
Zhuo Chen, Eric G. Blackman, Jason Nordhaus +2
Using 3D radiation-hydrodynamic simulations and analytic theory, we study the orbital evolution of asymptotic-giant-branch (AGB) binary systems for various initial orbital separati…
Mass Transfer and Disc Formation in AGB Binary Systems
Zhuo Chen, Adam Frank, Eric G. Blackman +2
We investigate mass transfer and the formation of disc in binary systems using a combination of numerical simulations and theory. We consider six models distinguished by binary sep…
Mass transfer in asymptotic-giant-branch binary systems
Z. Chen, A. Frank, E. G. Blackman +2
Binary stars can interact via mass transfer when one member (the primary) ascends onto a giant branch. The amount of gas ejected by the binary and the amount of gas accreted by the…
Three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of L2 Puppis
Zhuo Chen, Jason Nordhaus, Adam Frank +2
Recent observations of the L2 Puppis system suggest that this Mira-like variable may be in the early stages of forming a bipolar planetary nebula (PN). As one of nearest and bright…
The Creation of AGB Fallback Shells
Zhuo Chen, Adam Frank, Eric Blackman +1
The possibility that mass ejected during Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stellar evolution phases falls back towards the star has been suggested in applications ranging from the form…
