Free molecular gas drag on fluffy aggregates
Dynamical behaviors of dust particles are governed by gas drag forces in a variety of environments of astrophysical interest, such as protoplanetary disks, upper planetary atmospheres or cometary coma. Monte Carlo (MC) and Quasi Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations have been performed to estimate the drag forces on fluffy aggregates in the free molecular limit, using two different models of molecule-s...
متن کاملPlanetesimal formation via fragmentation in self-gravitating protoplanetary discs
An unsolved issue in the standard core accretion model for gaseous planet formation is how kilometre-sized planetesimals form from, initially, micron-sized dust grains. Solid growth beyond metre sizes can be difficult both because the sticking efficiency becomes very small, and because these particles should rapidly migrate into the central star. We consider here how metre sized particles evolv...
متن کاملTurbulence effects in planetesimal formation
The formation of planetesimals is investigated by studying the transport of dust particles in a local threedimensional simulation of accretion disc turbulence. Heavy particles fall rapidly towards themidplane,whereas lighter particles are strongly advected by the flow. For light particles the turbulence leads to a rapid redistribution of particles such that their density per unit mass is approx...
متن کاملPlanetesimal Formation by Gravitational Instability
We investigate the formation of planetesimals via the gravitational instability of solids that have settled to the midplane of a circumstellar disk. Vertical shear between the gas and a subdisk of solids induces turbulent mixing which inhibits gravitational instability. Working in the limit of small, well-coupled particles, we find that the mixing becomes ineffective when the surface density ra...
متن کاملPlanetesimal Formation with Particle Feedback
Proposed mechanisms for the formation of km-sized solid planetesimals face long-standing difficulties. Robust sticking mechanisms that would produce planetesimals by coagulation alone remain elusive. The gravitational collapse of smaller solids into planetesimals is opposed by stirring from turbulent gas. This proceeding describes recent works showing that “particle feedback,” the back-reaction...
