Accretion processes in symbiotic stars and recurrent novae

This thesis sets out to further develop our understanding of accretion processes in symbiotic stars, in particular the accretion disc formation radius and mass capture fraction from a stellar wind. I then explore how these potentially large discs can deliver mass onto the white dwarf at the nuclear...
