ABSTRACT::

 We perform two-dimensional numerical calculations of the tidal 
interaction  between the companion star and the disc around the 
primary, in a cataclysmic  variable system with parameters appropriate 
for the eclipsing dwarf nova binary IP Peg.  We show that a 
spiral shock pattern is indeed obtained.   We find, however, that it 
is impossible to reproduce the two-armed spiral  that has been 
recently observed in IP Peg (Steeghs, Harlaftis, & Horne 
1997) for realistic discs.
