Abstract


The three-dimensional gas dynamic simulations in SU UMa-type binaries show the formation of the precessional spiral density wave in inner parts of the accretion disk that are not subjected to gas dynamic perturbations. The features of the precessional spiral wave can explain both the energy release in the superoutburst and appearance of a superhump on the orbital light curve.
