====== HighFive ====== ==== X-Ray Burst Simulation on Accreting Neutron Star ==== (group 5) **Members:** Alexander Long (Input Person), Adam Jones (Analysis Person), Raditya Utama (Code Person) ==== Original Goals ==== - Simulate Bondi accretion on VH1 with appropriate condition - Run XRB reaction network on xnet - Link the inputs and outputs between both simulations - Plot some thermodynamic variables over time - Study the effect of some parametric changes ==== VH1 and Bondi Accretion Model ==== To simulate the accretion of matter onto the surface of a neutron star in a binary system we decided to use VH1 setup with a Bondi accretion model. Some important parameters within VH1: * 1D Spherically Symmetric: ngeom = 2 * Reflective boundary at surface: nleft = 0 * Fixed value boundary above neutron star: nright = 2 * Minimum value of grid: Xmin = 10 km * Maximum value of grid: Xmax = 50 km ==== XNet ==== ==== Presentation ==== {{:highfive.pdf|Final Presentation for Group 5}}
