Accretion onto black holes is an efficient mechanism in converting the gas mass-energy into energetic outputs as radiation, wind and jet. Tidal disruption events, in which stars are tidally torn apart and then accreted onto supermassive…

Accretion flows are fundamentally turbulent systems, yet are classically modelled with viscous theories only valid on length scales significantly greater than the typical size of turbulent eddies in the flow. We demonstrate that, while this…
