Here's my most recent simulation, a singularity created accretion disk complete with polar jets and gravitational redshifting. Once again I stayed up until midnight perfecting it (why I work best at night I'll never know.)

The lines are not particle tracers this time, but represent currents in the disk. The polar jets were left as unconnected dots because the image was too "busy" and confusing when they were linked up. As a matter of fact, I have two versions of this simulation, one with jets (ACCRET2.ROT) and one without (ACCRET1.ROT).

I was greatly surprised at how much turbulance my model portrayed the closer to the horizon it got. I'm still not certain if I applied the mathematics correctly (which, this time, I've included in the comments of the raw data.)

So there it is. I am very interrested in any comments concerning my models. Please feel free to e-mail me at hart_at_geekcomix.com.
