Galactic fountains and gas accretion

Star-forming disc galaxies such as the Milky Way need to accrete $\gsim$ 1 $M_{\odot}$ of gas each year to sustain their star formation. This gas accretion is likely to come from the cooling of the hot corona, however it is still not clear how this process can take place. We present simulations supp...
