Version 3 (modified by Erica Kaminski, 9 years ago) ( diff )

To implement angular momentum injection in our outflows, following Federrath 2014, we first define the following quantities:




these represent the total *accreted* mass (m_acc), center of mass (COM_acc), momentum (p_acc) and angular momentum (L_acc) from all the cells within the accretion volume surrounding the sink particle.

We use these quantities to update the particle's mass, COM, and so on, following:




where primes (') denote post-accretion quantities (i.e. m'-m represents the change in particle mass after an accretion event).

Now, angular momentum does not have the same form as above, namely:
