Geometric Correction for Wind Accretion in Binary Systems

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 velocity ( v _w ) is comparable to or less than the orbital...
