**FargOCA** will then invoke those boundaries condition at predefined place in the code. **FargOCA** will then invoke those boundaries condition at predefined place in the code.
The computational grid has one ghost layer in the radial and in the vertical direction . When running The computational grid has one ghost layer in the radial and in the vertical direction . Periodic conditions are applied in the azimuthal direction. When running
2D simulations only one boundary condition is required (radial) 2D simulations only one boundary condition is required (radial)
while for the 3D case it is necessary to provide a boundary condition for the colatitude (the layer at the disk surface). while for the 3D case it is necessary to provide a boundary condition also for the colatitude (to be applied to the set of gridcells having $`\phi =`$ Opening and $`\phi =\pi -`$ Opening).
When a 3D simulation is done by considering only one disk hemisphere (in case of vertical symmetry) a suited mirror boundary When a 3D simulation is done by considering only one disk hemisphere (in case of vertical symmetry) a suited mirror boundary
at the midplane is automatically used by the code. The vertical boundary condition will be applied at $`\phi =`opening is automatically introduced at disk midplane. The vertical boundary condition will be then applied only to the gridcells having $`\phi =`$ Opening.
The aim of boundary The aim of boundary
condition is to provide a value for the whole set of hydrodynamical condition is to provide a value for the whole set of hydrodynamical
quantities into the ghost layers. quantities into the ghost layers.
