Abstract
The viscous evolution of accretion discs in the quiescence of dwarf novae is investigated semi-analytically. There are two key factors: the inward flow of the initial mass in the disc and the diffusion of the material added into the disc later. The results are compared with the brightness temperature distributions obtained by the eclipse mapping of OY Car and Z Cha.
