Behavior of the self-similar function
f vs. the variable ξ defined in Equation (57). Different panels correspond to different values of the power-law parameters
d and
p: (a) gas pressure-dominated case with κ = κ
es, (b) gas pressure-dominated case with κ = κ
ff. Various curves represent the run of
f(ξ) for different boundary conditions imposed at the inner edge, allowing for the possibility of mass inflow past the secondary
orbit:
