Planetesimal Formation under Realistic Gas Dynamics: Dust Concentration in Turbulent and Windy Protoplanetary Disks

Pinghui Huang, Xue-Ning Bai

Planetesimals are a key intermediate stage of planet formation and originate from dust concentration in protoplanetary disks, which is strongly regulated by gas dynamics. In this s…

GRACE-DG: A Discontinuous Galerkin Method-Based Code for General Nonlinear Coagulation-Fragmentation Equations

Jing Yang, Zhuo Chen, Xue-Ning Bai

Dust plays a crucial role in protoplanetary disks (PPDs) evolution and planet formation, influencing disk dynamics through gas-dust coupling, regulating disk temperature by dominat…

Modeling the Evolution of Protoplanetary Disks: Two Pathways from Gravitational Instability to MHD Wind-Driven Accretion

Yang Ni, Wenrui Xu, Xue-Ning Bai

The global evolution of protoplanetary disks sets the initial conditions for planet formation. However, most models focus on individual evolutionary phases, with idealized initial…

Complex gas flows in magnetized protoplanetary disks promote the formation of dust traps at low fragmentation velocities

Vignesh Vaikundaraman, Joanna Drazkowska, Nerea Gurrutxaga +1

Non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic simulations of protoplanetary disks show a plethora of complex gas structures, including winds, rings, and gaps. These affect dust transport and help…

Angular Momentum Transport in Protoplanetary Disks

Xue-Ning Bai

We review our current understanding on the physical processes that govern angular momentum transport and evolution of protoplanetary disks. Extremely rich in physics, these process…

Radiative Nonideal MHD Simulations of Inner Protoplanetary Disks: Temperature Structures, Asymmetric Winds, and Episodic Surface Accretion

Shoji Mori, Xue-Ning Bai, Kengo Tomida

We perform two-dimensional global magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations including the full nonideal MHD effects (Ohmic diffusion, Hall effect, and ambipolar diffusion) and approxim…

The Interplay between Dust Dynamics and Turbulence Induced by the Vertical Shear Instability

Pinghui Huang, Xue-Ning Bai

The interaction between gas and dust in protoplanetary disks (PPDs) plays a crucial role in setting the stage of planet formation. In particular, the streaming instability (SI) is…

Dust Clumping in Outer Protoplanetary Disks: the Interplay Among Four Instabilities

Pinghui Huang, Xue-Ning Bai

Dust concentration in protoplanetary disks (PPDs) is the first step towards planetesimal formation, a crucial yet highly uncertain stage in planet formation. Although the streaming…

Leaky Dust Traps in Planet-Embedded Protoplanetary Disks

Pinghui Huang, Fangyuan Yu, Eve J. Lee +2

From the survival of dust disks for a few Myr to the establishment of chemical dichotomy, dust traps are expected to play a pivotal role in sculpting protoplanetary disks and the e…

Dynamical Consequence of Shadows Cast to the Outer Protoplanetary Disks: I. Two-dimensional Simulations

Zehao Su, Xue-Ning Bai

There has been increasing evidence of shadows from scattered light observations of outer protoplanetary disks (PPDs) cast from the (unresolved) disk inner region, while in the mean…
