Timescales with the true anomaly for the hydrodynamic force and dynamical friction for a WD with M = 0.21 M_⊙, P_b = 9 h, and e = 0.95. Upper panel refers to the prograde star and the lower panel to the retrograde star. Solid lines and dashed lines represent the timescales of the hydrodynamic force and dynamical friction, respectively. Different colors represent the different accretion rate of the disk.
