I performed 3-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of mass transfer between a giant star and a point mass accretor. I focused on high mass transfer rates, where the mass transfer becomes highly non-conservative, and material spills out from the accretion disk in a stream that carries mass and angular momentum out of the binary.
