Time evolution of the surface density (first row), disc aspect ratio (H/R; second row), the midplane temperature (third row), and the effective temperature (last row) as a function of radius for the binary case e = 0, q = 1 (first column); e = 0.45, q = 0.7 (central column); and e = 0.9, q = 1 (last column) at different times (distinguished by different colours). The solid and dashed lines refer to the simulation without and with the implementation of the radiation pressure, respectively. The initial condition of the disc is the same across all the cases except for the initial cavity radius, which is 3a₀ in both of the eccentric simulations, while it is 2a₀ in the circular binary cases. We calculated the midplane temperature and the effective temperature assuming that both the gas and the radiation pressure contribute to the hydrostatic equilibrium of the disc in all the cases. The radiation pressure contribution leads the disc to maintain a lower aspect ratio and temperature.
