Baroclinic Vorticity Production in Protoplanetary Disks; Part II: Vortex Growth and Longevity
Mark R. Petersen, Glen R. Stewart, Keith Julien
The factors affecting vortex growth in convectively stable protoplanetary disks are explored using numerical simulations of a two-dimensional anelastic-gas model which includes bar…

Baroclinic Vorticity Production in Protoplanetary Disks; Part I: Vortex Formation
Mark R. Petersen, Keith Julien, Glen R. Stewart
The formation of vortices in protoplanetary disks is explored via pseudo-spectral numerical simulations of an anelastic-gas model. This model is a coupled set of equations for vort…
