Circumnuclear Disk

Here we see a simulation of the circumnuclear disk with a total time of about 1e6 years. I updated some of the parameters: I decreased the disk mass by one order of magnitude (it has now about 4e4 solar masses), increased the velocity of the outflow from 10 km/s to 700 km/s (speed of sound of the ambient medium: 100 km/s) and changed the outflow density so that the mass outflow is about 4e-3 M_sun/year.

At the beginning the edge-on view shows some Kelvin–Helmholtz-Type instabilities, but after some time the inner region of the disk seem to reach a more or less settled state.
