We perform a parameter study of non-spinning, equal and unequal mass blackhole binaries on generic, eccentric orbits in numerical relativity. The linearmomentum considered ranges from that of a circular orbit to ten times thatvalue. We discuss the different manifestations of zoom-whirl behavior in thehyperbolic and the elliptic regime. The hyperbolic data set applies todynamical capture scenarios (e.g. in globular clusters). Evolutions in theelliptic regime correspond to possible end states of supermassive black holebinaries. We spot zoom-whirl behavior for eccentricities as low as $e\sim0.5$,i.e. within the expected range of eccentricities in massive black hole binariesfrom galaxy mergers and binaries near galactic centers. The resultinggravitational waveforms reveal a rich structure, which will effectively breakdegeneracies in parameter space improving parameter estimation.
