 +=====RESULTS===== 
 +1D on a solid surface was successful so the 2D case was the bulk of the project work. The solid case was unstable and resulted in an non-physical explosion. Both the infall and reflective cases were attempted, we found the [] to be optimal. We were able to model a non-viscous and viscous case using hydronamic force and energy equation. Terms for the extremely large B field (10^7-8 T) were not included. Both accreted around the central mass with a large high pressure/​empty barrier for the non-viscous case, as the angular momentum is not dissipated. The viscous case correctly accreted on to the surface.
