Accretion Disk -- from Eric Weisstein's World of Physics

Accretion onto a stationary black hole has only been solved analytically under the assumption of spherical symmetry. Shapiro and Teukolsky (1983) give a Newtonian treatment of accretion, and Michel (1972) gives a full general relativistic one.
