43 | | Question - how is the Bondi speed used in the accretion module? - If we can estimate the infall speed of the material around the sink as approaching the Bondi limit (is this simply pressureless collapse?), then when does $V_{out}$ > ~ $f_a V_{bondi}$, where $f_a$ is the fraction of accreted mass to be injected in outflow. |
| 41 | If this at first seems unphysical to you because the speed is potentially greater than the flow speed of accreted material (and should be in order to get outflow), remember this is a SGS model and we envision the gas as accelerating due to gravity as it approaches the surface of the star. |

Related question - are there any quantities that are stepped on each timestep in the kernel, or are quantities only summed/subtracted during injection/accretion steps...? Thinking how does the flow change over time such that the kernel switches from infall to outflow. |

| 47 | Some preliminary thoughts here -- should jet spin up or down the encompassing cloud around a star? (Likewise, it is supposed to spin down the star right, so does this imply a counter rotating jet, or a jet that spins different directions on its top or bottom?). |

| 51 | Gets mass and momentum injection exact, but then guesses at angular momentum injection. At this step it can then mess up the linear momentum injection, which causes an iteration for the L again. This happens back and forth until some small error is achieved. Question -- under what circumstance does this fail? Something about discretization error in the routine, because the kernel is only 4 zones across? |
