Solving the Coagulation Equation by the Moments Method
Paul R. Estrada, Jeffrey N. Cuzzi
We demonstrate an approach to solving the coagulation equation that involves using a finite number of moments of the particle size distribution. This approach is particularly usefu…
Towards planetesimals: dense chondrule clumps in the protoplanetary nebula
Jeffrey N. Cuzzi, Robert C. Hogan, Karim Shariff
We outline a scenario which traces a direct path from freely-floating nebula particles to the first 10-100km-sized bodies in the terrestrial planet region, producing planetesimals…
A Cascade Model for Particle Concentration and Enstrophy in Fully Developed Turbulence with Mass Loading Feedback
Robert C. Hogan, Jeffrey N. Cuzzi
A cascade model is described based on multiplier distributions determined from 3D direct numerical simulations (DNS) of turbulent particle laden flows, which include two-way coupli…
Closed-form expressions for particle relative velocities induced by turbulence
C. W. Ormel, J. N. Cuzzi
In this note we present complete, closed-form expressions for random relative velocities between colliding particles of arbitrary size in nebula turbulence. These results are exact…
Growth of Dust as the Initial Step Toward Planet Formation
C. Dominik, J. Blum, J. Cuzzi +1
We discuss the results of laboratory measurements and theoretical models concerning the aggregation of dust in protoplanetary disks, as the initial step toward planet formation. Sm…
The Evolution of the Water Distribution in a Viscous Protoplanetary Disk
Fred J. Ciesla, Jeffrey N. Cuzzi
(Abridged) Astronomical observations have shown that protoplanetary disks are dynamic objects through which mass is transported and accreted by the central star. Age dating of mete…
