We modify equation number (2.9) of LangbeinEtAl90 in the following way:
|
(43) |
we substitute this equality in their equation, divide by (
is the variable in our code) and make use of the equation of continuity for the
gas component. Thus, we get the following expression:
|
(44) |
To get the interaction term we use the mass and momentum conservation:
|
(45) |
We know that
|
(46) |
thus,
|
(47) |
Therefore, the resulting interaction term is
|
(48) |
In the case of the stellar system
|
(49) |
By analogy, we now introduce in this way
|
(50) |
where is per gas particle.
|
(51) |
As means to write the equation in its ``logarithmic variable version'', we multiply
the equation by
, as we did for the corresponding momentum balance
star equation and replace by
,
