Recent observational data has shown that the Algol-type binary system RS Vul possesses an accretion disk tilted out of the orbital plane. Magnetic effects in the surface of the donor star could produce a nontrivial effect in the flow of the accretion stream as it travels through the L1 Lagrange point. Such a deflection could introduce angular momentum with a non-z component that could propagate toward the primary and lead to a tilted accretion disk. We use three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of the mass transfer and accretion disk in RS Vul to investigate this hypothesis.
