Tidal Truncation of Circumplanetary Disks Fails above a Critical Disk Aspect Ratio

We use numerical simulations of circumplanetary disks to determine the boundary between disks that are radially truncated by the tidal potential and those where gas escapes the Hill sphere. We consider a model problem, in which a coplanar circumplanetary disk is resupplied with gas at an injection r...
