Gas flow structure and azimuthally averaged mass flux. The results were obtained from m02 − hw0 (panels a and b), m02 − hw01 (panels c and d), and m04 − hw0 (panels e and f). Left column: gas flow structure at the meridian plane. The color contour represents the r-component of the gas velocity in the spherical polar coordinates centered at the planet and averaged in the y-direction within the calculation domain of the hydrodynamical simulation. The dashed, dotted, and dashed-dotted circles denote the Bondi radius, the Hill radius, and twice the atmospheric radius, respectively. Right column: mass flux of the gas averaged in the azimuthal direction in the spherical polar coordinates centered at the planet, 〈ρgυr〉ϕ. Each solid line represents the changes in 〈ρgυr〉ϕ; altitude is varied along with a certain radius. We highlight the important radii with solid yellow (RBondi), blue (RHill), and red (2 Ratm) lines.
