Abstract

Results of numerical modeling of the gas dynamics ofmaterial in the envelopes of T Tauri binary stars with a small component mass ratios (q = 0.08) are reported. In such systems, the less massive component is moving at a supersonic velocity, and the more massive component can move with either a subsonic or supersonic velocity. The modeling results show that the morphology of the flow changes substantially in the transition from supersonic to subsonic motion of the massive component. In particular, one of the two bow shocks vanishes, flows ofmaterial in the system are redistributed, and the characteristics of the accretion disks change. In addition, the effect of the change in the accretion mode on the evolution of the binary system and the possibility of recovering some parameters of the system from observational manifestations of shocks in the circumstellar envelope are considered.
