Context.Secondary stars in dwarf novae are strongly irradiated during outbursts. It has been argued that this could result in an enhancement of the mass transfer rate even though the L1 region is shaded from the primary irradiation by the accretion disc. Previous investigations of the possibility of a circulation flow transporting heat from hot regions to L1 have given opposite answers.
