Demonstration of the APR boundaries used (16 levels in the figure). The spherical boundaries are centered on the MBH. The outermost boundary is at r = 2200Rg ≈ 3.25 × 1014 cm with Δr = 137.5Rg ≈ 2.03 × 1013 cm between each boundary, where Rg = Rs/2 = GM/c2 is the gravitational radius of the MBH. r = 2200Rg is the same in all simulations, whereas Δr = 1100, 550, 275, and 183.3 for 2-, 4-, 8-, and 12-level simulations, respectively.
