Lagrangian Matter Tracers: The Jet Emerges

Lagrangian Matter Tracers: The Jet Emerges

Throughout the simulation, we seed "particles" to serve as tracers of Lagrangian fluid elements. Then we track where these particles move as we follow the evolution of the matter and magnetic field. As the evolution proceeds, some particles escape from the disk into the funnels above the black hole poles. The figures below are snapshots of the particles at different times. There are more particles going into the funnel compared to the interior only B-field case. Also, the particles in the disk move outward with the shock-heated "wind outflow" in the same manner as in the other cases.
