Cavity truncation in circumbinary discs is set by binary parameters together with instantaneous cavity eccentricity and relative apsidal orientation, yielding a prescription for pericentre radius Rp and semi-major axis acav.
Nonlinear shock formation dominates angular momentum deposition from planet-induced density waves, cooling matches it for sub-thermal planets, and viscosity only matters at unrealistically high values.
