We present a detailed study of the hydrodynamical interactions in a Newtonianblack hole-neutron star binary during the last stages of inspiral. We considerclose binaries which are tidally locked, use a stiff equation of state (with anadiabatic index Gamma=3) throughout, and explore the effect of differentinitial mass ratios on the evolution of the system. We calculate thegravitational radiation signal in the quadrupole approximation. Ourcalculations are carried out using a Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) code.Comment: Replaces previous version which had figures separate from the text of the paper. Now 47 pages long with 19 embedded figures (the figures are the same, they were renumbered) Uses aaspp4.st
