Dynamics of Circumstellar Disks III: The case of GG Tau A
Andrew F. Nelson, F. Marzari
(abridged) We present 2-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) code, VINE, to model a self-gravitating binary system similar to the GG…
Dynamics of Core Accretion
Andrew F. Nelson, Maximilian Ruffert
(shortened) We perform 3D hydrodynamic simulations of gas flowing around a planetary core of mass \mplan=10\me embedded in a near Keplerian background flow, using a modified sheari…
Interaction of a giant planet in an inclined orbit with a circum-stellar disk
F. Marzari, Andrew F. Nelson
We investigate the dynamical evolution of a Jovian--mass planet injected into an orbit highly inclined with respect to its nesting gaseous disk. Planet--planet scattering induced b…
VINE -- A numerical code for simulating astrophysical systems using particles II: Implementation and performance characteristics
Andrew F. Nelson, M. Wetzstein, T. Naab +1
We continue our presentation of VINE. We begin with a description of relevant architectural properties of the serial and shared memory parallel computers on which VINE is intended…
VINE -- A numerical code for simulating astrophysical systems using particles I: Description of the physics and the numerical methods
M. Wetzstein, Andrew F. Nelson, T. Naab +1
We present a Fortran 95 code for simulating the evolution of astrophysical systems using particles to represent the underlying fluid flow. The code is designed to be versatile, fle…
Gravitational instability in binary protoplanetary disks
Lucio Mayer, Alan Boss, Andrew F. Nelson
We review the models and results of simulations of self-gravitating, gaseous protoplanetary disks in binary star systems. These models have been calculated by three different group…
