The eccentricity (upper panels) and periapse angle (lower panels) versus radius of the disk for three different values of H/r and q = 0.1. The outer disk truncation radius is rout = 0.5 ab (left) and rout = 0.48 ab (right). The dotted lines show the solution to the 2D equations, and the solid lines show the solution to the 3D equations.
