The physical conditions in the flow of material in the region of L1 for three interacting W Draconis binary stars, beta Lyrae, V367 Cygnus, and RY Scuti, are calculated using solutions of nonstationary hydrodynamical equations applied to observational data obtained by various authors. It is shown that when the star losing mass fills its Roche lobe, an axisymmetric flow of material with dimensions comparable to those of the star arises. The rate of mass transfer reaches 10-5 solar masses/yr. The properties of this flow can explain many observational effects of W Draconis stars that have been studied.
