We have synthesized Doppler tomograms of gas flows in the binary system IP Peg using the results of three-dimensional gas-dynamical computations. Gas-dynamical modeling in combination with Doppler tomography enables identification of the key elements of flows in Doppler maps without solution of an ill-posed inverse problem. A comparison of the synthetic tomograms with observations shows that, in the quiescent state of the system, the most luminous components are (1) the shock wave induced by interaction between the circumbinary envelope and the stream from the Lagrange point L 1 (the “hot line”) and (2) the gas condensation at the apogee of the quasi-elliptical disk. Both the single spiral shock wave arm in the gas-dynamical solution and the stream from L 1 contribute little to the luminosity. In the active state of the system, when the stream from L 1 does not play an appreciable role and the disk dominates, both areas of enhanced luminosity in the observational tomograms are associated with the two arms of the spiral shock wave in the disk.
