Scientific paper

Results of 3D, Newtonian hydrodynamic calculations of the last stages of the inspiral and the final coalescence of neutron star binary systems are described. The focus is on sligthly asymmetric systems with the asymmetry stemming either from different spins or different masses of the binary components. Implications for nucleosynthesis and gamma ray bursts are discussed. Test calculations for the used viscosity scheme are provided in the appendix.
