Hydraulic/Shock-Jumps in Protoplanetary Disks
A. C. Boley, R. H. Durisen
In this paper, we describe the nonlinear outcome of spiral shocks in protoplanetary disks. Spiral shocks, for most protoplanetary disk conditions, create a loss of vertical force b…

The Effects of Metallicity and Grain Size on Gravitational Instabilities in Protoplanetary Disks
Kai Cai, Richard H. Durisen, Scott Michael +4
Observational studies show that the probability of finding gas giant planets around a star increases with the star's metallicity. Our latest simulations of disks undergoing gravita…
