Fluid dynamics of binary systems composed of stars and black holes
This project aims to conduct previously unachievable (magneto)hydrodynamical simulations of binary systems involving stars, planets, neutron stars, and black holes. The phenomena occurring in these systems lie at the heart of some of the most important unsolved astrophysical problems, such as the evolutionary origin of gravitational wave sources, the acceleration sites of high-energy particles, and the coevolution of galaxies with their supermassive black holes. Advancements in the theoretical understanding of these phenomena are urgently needed to interpret observations from a wide range of current and future ground- and space-based facilities. Traditionally, numerical simulations of fluid…
