Orbiting binary embedded in a wind

This code sets up a binary black hole in a wind of uniform density and Mach number, to inspect the accretion rate of matter onto the binary under different conditions. The accretion process in such scenarios is referred to as Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton accretion. Some references below:
