Diagnostic plots for a system with primary mass, M1 = 100 M, initial mass-ratio, qi = 0.7, and initial orbital period 1.5 days. Top panels: system in the Standard Grid (without enhanced mixing) and bottom panels: system in the Enhanced Grid (with enhanced mixing). Left panels: evolution of each component’s mass and the mass ratio, q with a dotted line. Central panels: ratios of nuclear and mixing timescales as a function of time. Right panels: difference between central and surface helium mass fraction. Star 1 is plotted in red, Star 2 in blue. The black cross and diamond represent the times for which profiles of Star 2 are plotted in Fig. 5.
