View of a 1.0 M⊙ MS primary star in a binary system, cut in the plane including all the rotations axes of the system. The companion to this star is a 0.2 M⊙ MS secondary star with an orbital separation of r = 2R1. The black curve corresponds to the Roche lobe of the primary star. The black lines respectively correspond to the reference direction for θ and to the reference direction in witch our model is given by the 1D spherical symmetric model (θ = μcrit). The blue lines are equipotentials inside the star with the colourbar representing the total potential. On each equipotential the pressure, density, and temperature, are constant. L1 is the Lagrangian point and R1 is the radius of the initial 1D model in the reference direction.
