Angle of the transferring stream relative to the binary axis for adiabatic (left) and isothermal cases (right) in the presence of the Coriolis force. The angle is defined as tan θ = v y / v x $ \tan\theta=\langle\tilde{v}^{\mathit{y}}\rangle/\langle\tilde{v}^{x}\rangle $, where v x $ \langle\tilde{v}^{x}\rangle $ and v y $ \langle\tilde{v}^{\mathit{y}}\rangle $ are mass-weighted averages of v x $ \tilde{v}^{x} $ and v y $ \tilde{v}^{\mathit{y}} $ measured at the right x-boundary. The solid curves following the dots indicate the fitting formulae given in Eq. (3). The vertical solid gray lines indicate equal-mass binary. In the right panel, the dotted curves indicates the predictions of the tilt angle for the isothermal case by Lubow & Shu (1975).
