Scientific paper

A preliminary study of circulation driven by the presence of the companion in a close binary system is presented. If Coriolis and inertial forces are neglected, this tidal circulation is analogous to Eddington-Sweet circulation in a single rotating star. The structure of this flow was explored both analytically and numerically showing that it is extremely unlikely that it can by itself be responsible for energy transfer between the components of a contact binary system.
