Scientific paper

The hydrodynamics of stellar models in the tidal field of a massive black hole is calculated numerically under certain simplifying assumptions. It is found that solar type stars are totally disrupted only when falling toward a black hole whose mass does not exceed 106- 107M_sun;. Red giants lose their entire envelope for all black hole masses studied. The authors' findings strengthen the view that tidal disruption is not an important source of gas in AGN's.
