Simulation of the Circumnuclear Disk

Parameters and scales:

timescale: 1e7 yr

number density scale: 1 ccm

selfgravitation and MHD are switched off

central mass: 4e6 M_sun

the center contains an outflow object with radius 0.4 pc, density 1e4 ccm and velocity 10 km/s

The inner rim of the disk first develops a 'wedge'-like shape due to the outflow, then two knobs delelop that are carried away by the outflow. Later on the outflows seems to be deflected by the inner rim.
