The Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton (BHL) accretion model is widely used to describe how a compact object accretes material from a companion's stellar wind in binary systems. However, its standard implementation becomes inaccurate when the wind…

Accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in realistic halos is time-variable, governed by turbulence, cooling, and multiphase condensation. In chaotic cold accretion (CCA), clouds and filaments condense out of the hot gas and feed…
