Abstract
Supermassive black holes at the centre of galactic nuclei mostly grow in mass
through gas accretion over cosmic time. This process also modifies the angular
momentum (or spin) of black holes, both in magnitude and in orientation.
Despite being often neglected in galaxy formation simulations, spin plays a
crucial role in modulating accretion power, driving jet feedback, and
determining recoil velocity of coalescing black hole binaries. We present a new
accretion model for the moving-mesh code {\sc arepo} that incorporates (i) mass
accretion through a thin
