Abstract
We present the results of three-dimensional simulations of matter flows in semidetached binary systems with various viscosities. In low-viscosity syst ems, the flow structure displays the same qualitative features as in high-v iscosity computations. A self-consistent solution shows the absence of a sh ack interaction between the stream flowing from the inner Lagrange point an d the forming accretion disk (or hot spot) for any viscosity.
