Large-scale exchanges. On a large scale, dark-matter and baryons are coupled. During the accretion process and while the dark-matter smooth accretion (acc) feeds the dark-matter halo (Mh), the associated baryons (bar) feed a baryonic reservoir (Mbar). In the context of bimodal accretion, this baryonic reservoir is divided into two parts: the hot reservoir representing the hot atmosphere (sh and Mhot), and the cold reservoir representing filamentary streams (flt and Mcold). The cold gas feeds the galaxy (ff) directly. The hot gas follows radiative cooling process and then also feeds the galaxy (cool). As described in the text, a galaxy can eject material. The ejecta (wind) are continuously added to the hot-gas reservoir (Mhot) or definitively lost in the IGM according to their velocity distribution. Indeed, the gas stored in the IGM reservoir will never be considered.
