A general, three-dimensional fluid dynamics code for stars in binary systems

We describe the theory and implementation of a three-dimensional fluid dynamics code which we have developed for calculating the surface geometry and circulation currents in the secondaries of interacting binary systems. The main method is based on an Eulerian-Lagrangian scheme to solve the advectiv...
