Sawada, Keisuke; Hachisu, Izumi; Matsuda, Takuya Mass and angular momentum loss from contact binary systems. (English) Zbl 0538.70019 Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 206, 673-690 (1984). Gas outflows from contact binary systems are calculated using a generalized curvilinear coordinate system and the implicit factored scheme. The former technique allows us to treat the complicated shape of the boundary of the binary system in a simple manner. The latter leads to larger integration time-steps than conventional explicit schemes and results in the efficiency of the simulation.
