The surface density (on a logarithmic scale) of gas around an e = 0.6 binary at pericenter, for a ﹩{ \mathcal M }=10,\,\nu =1{0}^{-3}﹩ disk. The border of each cell is demarcated in black. Each sink region is roughly 13 cells in diameter (2rs), and the binary separation at pericenter is resolved by about 104 cells. Note that, as r → 0, the number of cells per annulus decreases substantially due to the constant ﹩{\rm{\Delta }}R﹩ employed at Ra.
