Scientific paper

We present the results of simulations that explore the variety of accretion flows possible in magnetic cataclysmic variables (mCVs). Our simulations evolve to equilibrium periods spanning 0.01 < P[spin]/P[orb] < 0.6 and the resulting flows vary from disc-fed systems at P[spin]/P[orb] ˜ 0.01 - 0.1, to stream fed systems at P[spin]/P[orb] ˜ 0.1 - 0.5 and systems fed from a ring at the outer edge of the white dwarf's Roche lobe at P[spin]/P[orb] ˜ 0.6.
