Fig. 2.

Circulation pattern of a rotationally and tidally distorted Cowling point source model with electron scattering opacity, M = 3 M⊙, Mcomp = 3 M⊙, R = 1.75 R⊙L = 93 L⊙ and ϵ = 0.1. Three different perspectives are shown. The k = 3, 4 contributions to the velocity field due to the companion have been omitted. The companion is shown as a yellow sphere at an arbitrary orbital separation. The green arrows give the direction of the motion. The central convective region is marked in red, the pole is marked by a blue cross and the radiative envelope is shown in opaque grey.
