This paper presents the results of simulations of mass transfer by 'tidal-lobe' overflow in a highly eccentric binary system. These computations correct and extend earlier work by Haynes, Lerche and Wright (1980); in particular some fluid mechanical effects are included in the simulations. The binary system parameters chosen for the computations presented here are relevant to the recurrent X-ray transient source, A0538-66. The implications of these simulations for models of this source are discussed. The important predictions of these experiments are that mass transfer in a highly eccentric binary system will occur only when the outer layers of the mass-losing star are in rapid rotation, and in certain situations mass transfer is accompanied by considerable mass loss from the binary system.
