Single Fluid vs. Multifluid: Comparison between single fluid and multifluid dust models for disc planet interactions

Kevin Chan, Sijme-Jan Paardekooper

Recent observations of substructures such as dust gaps and dust rings in protoplanetary discs have highlighted the importance of including dust into purely gaseous disc models. At…

Dynamics of Dusty Vortices II: Stability of 2D dust laden vortices

Francesco Lovascio, Sijme-Jan Paardekooper, Colin McNally

Vortices have long been speculated to play a role in planet formation, via the collection of dust in the pressure maxima that arise at the cores of vortices in protoplanetary discs…

Planet-Disk Interactions

Sijme-Jan Paardekooper, Ruobing Dong, Paul Duffell +4

Planet-disk interactions, where an embedded massive body interacts gravitationally with the protoplanetary disk it was formed in, can play an important role in reshaping both the d…

Polydisperse Streaming Instability II. Methods for solving the linear stability problem

Sijme-Jan Paardekooper, Colin P. McNally, Francesco Lovascio

Occurring in protoplanetary discs composed of dust and gas, streaming instabilities are a favoured mechanism to drive the formation of planetesimals. The Polydispserse Streaming In…

Polydisperse Streaming Instability III. Dust evolution encourages fast instability

Colin P. McNally, Francesco Lovascio, Sijme-Jan Paardekooper

Planet formation via core accretion requires the production of km-sized planetesimals from cosmic dust. This process must overcome barriers to simple collisional growth, for which…

Polydisperse Streaming Instability I. Tightly coupled particles and the terminal velocity approximation

Sijme-Jan Paardekooper, Colin P. McNally, Francesco Lovascio

We introduce a polydisperse version of the streaming instability, where the dust component is treated as a continuum of sizes. We show that its behaviour is remarkably different fr…
