Abstract The study of regular satellites formation, in the most internal region of the giant planets, has problems with the numerical resources. Most of the hydrodynamical integrators, such as FARGO 2D, have not good resolution close to their planets. Alternatively, the planets substitute the star for the center of the system. However this change looses information about the dynamics of the star. The complete system is cumbersome and loose resolution in the vicinity of the planet. Our proposal is to develop a new hydrodynamical numeric study with the reference frame in the planet with a rotational system, like the restricted three body problem, modifying the potential to include the star movement. This will gave us a better resolution in the vicinity of the planet without the loose of the dynamics of the star. The boundary conditions will be modified to include the gas and mass transfer to the system. | |
