Dynamics of cold circumstellar gas in debris disks

Can Cui, Sebastian Marino, Quentin Kral +1

Mounting observational evidence indicates that cold circumstellar gas is present in debris disk systems. This work focuses on various dynamical processes that debris-disk gas may u…

On corrugation mode radial wavelengths of the vertical shear instability

Yixuan Dang, Can Cui, Marcelo Barraza-Alfaro

The vertical shear instability (VSI) is a promising mechanism to drive turbulence in protoplanetary disks. Numerical simulations in the literature demonstrate that the VSI non-line…

Turbulence in outer protoplanetary disks: MRI or VSI?

Can Cui, Xue-Ning Bai

The outer protoplanetary disks (PPDs) can be subject to the magnetorotational instability (MRI) and the vertical shear instability (VSI). While both processes can drive turbulence…

The saturation of the VSI in protoplanetary disks via parametric instability

Can Cui, Henrik Latter

The vertical shear instability (VSI) is a robust and potentially important phenomenon in irradiated protoplanetary disks (PPDs), yet the mechanism by which it saturates remains poo…

Global Three-Dimensional Simulations of Outer Protoplanetary Disks with Ambipolar Diffusion

Can Cui, Xue-Ning Bai

The structure and evolution of protoplanetary disks (PPDs) are largely governed by disk angular momentum transport, mediated by magnetic fields. In the most observable outer disk,…

On the Vertical Shear Instability in Magnetized Protoplanetary Disks

Can Cui, Min-Kai Lin

The vertical shear instability (VSI) is a robust phenomenon in irradiated protoplanetary disks (PPDs). While there is extensive literature on the VSI in the hydrodynamic limit, PPD…
