Dust-gas dynamics driven by the streaming instability with various pressure gradients
arXiv:2401.10430 · doi:10.1093/mnras/stae272
Abstract
The streaming instability, a promising mechanism to drive planetesimal formation in dusty protoplanetary discs, relies on aerodynamic drag naturally induced by the background radial pressure gradient. This gradient should vary in disks, but its effect on the streaming instability has not been sufficiently explored. For this purpose, we use numerical simulations of an unstratified disc to study the non-linear saturation of the streaming instability with mono-disperse dust particles and survey a wide range of gradients for two distinct combinations of the particle stopping time and the dust-to-gas mass ratio. As the gradient increases, we find most kinematic and morphological properties increase but not always in linear proportion. The density distributions of tightly-coupled particles are insensitive to the gradient whereas marginally-coupled particles tend to concentrate by more than an order of magnitude as the gradient decreases. Moreover, dust-gas vortices for tightly-coupled particles shrink as the gradient decreases, and we note higher resolutions are required to trigger the instability in this case. In addition, we find various properties at saturation that depend on the gradient may be observable and may help reconstruct models of observed discs dominated by streaming turbulence. In general, increased dust diffusion from stronger gradients can lower the concentration of dust filaments and can explain the higher solid abundances needed to trigger strong particle clumping and the reduced planetesimal formation efficiency previously found in vertically-stratified simulations.
