| Abstract: | The observations of WZ Sge provide us with the best test for computational codes trying to calculate the accretion process onto a white dwarf. We find that the accreted material on WZ Sge cannot spread over the whole star at least on a time scale of ten years. Numerical models which include the angular momentum of the accreted material provide the best fit to the observations. |
