Abstract

We investigate black hole accretion in self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) halos using a self-gravitating fluid model with thermal conduction. We develop a robust one-dimensional spherically symmetric hydrodynamic code based on an operator-splitting finite-volume method. Simulating both Singular Isothermal Sphere (SIS) and Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) profiles, we find that black hole growth is regulated by the competition between gravity-driven inflow and SIDM heat transport. Our results demonstrate that an SIS-like environment facilitates rapid accretion, allowing a $100\,\mathrm{M_{\odot}}$ seed to grow to $10^4\,\mathrm{M_{\odot}}$ within $2\,\mathrm{Myr}$. Furthermore, we show that larger initial black hole masses, steeper density profiles, and higher scattering cross sections significantly enhance the accretion rate. This study provides a comprehensive fluid-dynamical picture of black hole growth in SIDM halos.
