In this paper we describe the potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and
Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for studies related to accretion flows in the strong
field gravity regime around both stellar-mass and supermassive black-holes.
eXTP has the unique capability of using advanced ‘spectral-timing-polarimetry’
techniques to analyze the rapid variations with three orthogonal diagnostics of
the flow and its geometry, yielding unprecedented insight into the inner
accreting regions, the effects of strong field gravity on the material within
them and the powerful outflows which are driven by the accretion process.
