Dust Settling and Clumping in MRI-turbulent Outer Protoplanetary Disks

چکیده

Planetesimal formation is a crucial yet poorly understood process in planet formation. It widely believed that planetesimal the outcome of dust clumping by streaming instability (SI). However, recent analytical and numerical studies have shown SI can be damped or suppressed external turbulence, at least outer regions protoplanetary disks are likely weakly turbulent due to magneto-rotational (MRI). We conduct high-resolution local shearing-box simulations hybrid particle-gas magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), incorporating ambipolar diffusion as dominant non-ideal MHD effect, applicable disk regions. first show backreaction enhances settling towards midplane reducing turbulence correlation time. Under modest level MRI we find fact easier than conventional case, sense threshold solid abundance for lower. The key includes presence pressure maxima, which our work formed zonal flows overcoming background gradient. Overall, results support MRI-turbulent disks, especially ring-like substructures.

Dust settling in local simulations of turbulent protoplanetary disks

In this paper, we study the effect of MHD turbulence on the dynamics of dust particles in protoplanetary disks. We vary the size of the particles and relate the dust evolution to the turbulent velocity fluctuations. We performed numerical simulations using two Eulerian MHD codes, both based on finite difference techniques: ZEUS– 3D and NIRVANA. These were local shearing box simulations incorpor...

Dust Coagulation and Settling in Layered Protoplanetary Disks

Previous models of dust growth in protoplanetary disks considered either uniformly laminar or turbulent disks. This Letter explores how dust growth occurs in a layered protoplanetary disk in which the magnetorotational instability generates turbulence only in the surface layers of a disk. Two cases are considered: a completely laminar dead zone and a dead zone in which turbulence is “stirred up...

Dust in Protoplanetary Disks

We critically examine the best lines of evidence for grain growth in protoplanetary disks, based on modelling of observed spectral energy distributions and images of T Tauri and Herbig Ae stars. The data are consistent with millimeter-sized grains near disk midplanes, and micron-sized grains near disk surfaces. We review three channels by which grains can grow, including direct condensation fro...

Global MHD simulations of stratified and turbulent protoplanetary discs. II. Dust settling

Aims. The aim of this paper is to study the vertical profile of small dust particles in protoplanetary discs in which angular momentum transport is due to MHD turbulence driven by the magnetorotational instability. We consider particle sizes that range from approximately 1 micron up to a few millimeters. Methods. We use a grid–based MHD code to perform global two-fluid simulations of turbulent ...

Dust evolution in protoplanetary accretion disks

The time evolution of dust particles in circumstellar disk-like structures around protostars and young stellar objects was investigated. For the first time, we coupled the dust evolution directly to the evolution of the disk and followed the influence of opacity changes due to collisional aggregation on the dynamics of the disk. For that purpose, we numerically simulated the dynamical evolution...
