In a recent publication , we introduce the lift force as a common source to accretion disk tilt that is likely relevant to accretion disk systems .
Lift is generated by slightly different supersonic gas stream speeds flowing over and under the disk at the bright spot .
In this conference proceeding , we focus on whether the average white dwarf has enough mass to prevent a disk tilt in non-magnetic Cataclysmic Variables ( CVs ) with accretion disks .
Assuming a white dwarf mass of 0.6M _ { \odot } and a disk mass of 10 ^ { -11 } M _ { \odot } , we vary the secondary mass to establish theoretical minimum mass transfer rates needed to induce and maintain a disk tilt of four degrees around the line of nodes .
For mass ratios in the range ( 0.13 \leq q = M _ { 2 } M ^ { -1 } \leq 0.45 ) , we confirm that the secondary mass does not contribute significantly to disk tilt .
We also confirm that the average white dwarf does not have enough mass to prevent a disk tilt .
We find that disk tilt may be likely in low mass transfer rate systems such as CV SU UMa ’ s .
