Flow structure in diskless intermediate polars
Abstract
We investigate the flow structure in diskless intermediate polars using the V2400 Oph system as a typical source with 3D numerical simulations. We show that the accretion disk in this system is not formed which is a result of the sufficiently strong magnetic field (17.5 MG) and fast rotation of the accretor (12 turns within the orbital period). In our simulations. plasma in the Roche lobe of the white dwarf moves non-stationary (the pulsation period of the accretion rate is 501 s) that is in good agreement with the interpretation of observations of this object.
