Abstract

We perform 2D and 3D numerical simulations of an accretion disc in a close binary with a mass ratio of 0.5, corresponding to the dwarf nova IP Pegasi. We do not include artificial nor α-viscosity and supply gas from the inner L1 point. We construct Doppler maps and artificial trailed spectrograms. In the 2D calculation, the results agree very well with those observed in IP Peg. In the 3D calculations, the stream from the L1 point penetrates into the accretion disc. The resulting flow pattern, therefore, is different from the 2D results.
