Abstract
We present the results of systematic comparison of 2D and 3D numerical models of mass transfer in semidetached binaries. It is shown that only for case of γ 1 (near-isothermal case) the obtained 2D and 3D solutions are qualitatively similar. For higher value of γthe 3D flow structure is drastically changed and for γ=1.2 the accretion disk is not formed in the system. Numerical results show that for case of γ=1.2 the 2D and 3D solutions are different. We discuss the spiral-shaped shock waves obtained in numerical models. It is shown that these shocks are not intrinsic spirals and are caused by collisions of the gaseous flows in the system.
