Sketch of BLR clouds propagating in the wind of a super-accreting black hole (not to scale). The clouds move in Keplerian orbits around the black hole with the velocity vectors being isotropically distributed in the tangent plane defined by r = constant, with r the distance from the cloud to the black hole. Bowshocks only form around clouds moving within the wind.
