Particle Aggregation in a turbulent Keplerian flow

Abstract

In the problem of planetary formation one seeks a mechanism to gather small solid particles together into larger accumulations of solid matter. Here we describe a scenario in which turbulence mediates this process by aggregating particles into anticyclonic regions. If, as our simulations suggest, anticyclonic vortices form as long-lived coherent structures, the process becomes more powerful because such vortices trap particles effectively. Even if the turbulence is decaying, following the upheaval that formed the disk, there is enough time to make the dust distribution quite lumpy.
