Abstract

Results of three-dimensional gas-dynamical numerical simulations of the structure of matter flows in semi-detached binary systems with various component-mass ratios are considered. The main elements of the flows in the models studied are described. The characteristics of density waves inside the accretion disk for various component-mass ratios are considered. The influence of the precessional density wave on the development of instability in the accretion disks and the characteristics of developing turbulence are analyzed. Values of the Shakura–Syunyaev coefficient α for the simulated systems are calculated.
