EVOLUTION OF DEBRIS OF A TIDALLY DISRUPTED STAR BY A MASSIVE BLACK HOLE: DEVELOPMENT OF A HYBRID SCHEME OF THE SPH AND TVD METHODS

Lee Hyung Mok, Kim Sung-Soo

Abstract

The evolution of the stellar debris after tidal disruption due to the super massive black hole's tidal force is difficult to solve numerically because of the large dynamical range of the problem. We developed an SPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics) - TVD (Total Variation Diminishing) hybrid code in which the SPH is used to cover a widely spread debris and the TVD is used to compute the stream collision more accurately. While the code in the present form is not sufficient to obtain desired resoultion, it could provide a useful tool in studying the aftermath of the stellar disruption by a massive black hole.
