Outburst behaviour of accretion discs in close binary systems
I present the first two- and three-dimensional simulations of accretion disc-driven outbursts in cataclysmic variables and X-ray transients. A Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics scheme is used to model the accretion disc, which is subject to the full tidal potential of a binary system. The scheme, whic...
