Bondi Flow from Various Perspectives

The article examines stationary integral solutions of Bondi flow, a simple model for steady accretion in Newtonian gravity. It analyzes this flow from three viewpoints: astrophysical processes, dynamical systems theory, and emergent gravity (analogue gravity). The study shows how critical points define horizons in both the fluid dynamics and the resulting acoustic spacetime.
