Turbulence-Induced Relative Velocity of Dust particles IV: the Collision Kernel
Liubin Pan, Paolo Padoan
Motivated by its importance for modeling dust particle growth in protoplanetary disks, we study turbulence-induced collision statistics of inertial particles as a function of the p…
Turbulence-Induced Relative Velocity of Dust Particles III: The Probability Distribution
Liubin Pan, Paolo Padoan, John Scalo
Motivated by its important role in the collisional growth of dust particles in protoplanetary disks, we investigate the probability distribution function (PDF) of the relative velo…
Turbulence-Induced Relative Velocity of Dust Particles II: The Bidisperse Case
Liubin Pan, Paolo Padoan, John Scalo
We extend our earlier work on turbulence-induced relative velocity between equal-size particles (Pan and Padoan, Paper I) to particles of arbitrarily different sizes. The Pan and P…
Turbulence-Induced Relative Velocity of Dust Particles I: Identical Particles
Liubin Pan, Paolo Padoan
We study the relative velocity of inertial particles suspended in turbulent flows and discuss implications for dust particle collisions in protoplanetary disks. We simulate a weakl…
Turbulent Clustering of Protoplanetary Dust and Planetesimal Formation
Liubin Pan, Paolo Padoan, John Scalo +2
We study clustering of inertial particles in turbulent flows and discuss its applications to dust particles in protoplanetary disks. Using numerical simulations, we compute the rad…
