  The first convincing piece of evidence of spiral structure in the accretion
disc in IP Pegasi was found by Steeghs et al. (1997). We performed two kinds of
2D hydrodynamic simulations, a SFS finite volume scheme and a SPH scheme, with
a mass ratio of 0.5. Both results agreed well with each other. We constructed
Doppler maps and line flux-binary phase relations based on density
distributions, the results agreeing well with those obtained by observation.
