Here we study the accretion process around a neutron star, especially for the cases where shock does form in the accretion disk. In case of accretion flows around a black hole, close to the horizon matter is supersonic. On the other hand for the case of neutron stars and white dwarfs, matter must be subsonic close to the inner boundary. So the nature of the inflowing matter around neutron stars and white dwarfs are strictly different from that around black holes in the inner region of the disk. Here we discuss a few phenomena and the corresponding solutions of hydrodynamic equations of matter in an accretion disk around a slowly rotating neutron star without magnetic field.
