Dust Evolution in Protoplanetary Accretion Disks
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
We have numerically investigated the dust evolution in a protoplanetary accretion disk which is described by a time-dependent one-dimensional (radial) α-model. The coagulation of particles due to cohesive collisions is calculated by solving the non-linear Smoluchowski equation. The feedback of the dust evolution and the related opacity changes to the disk evolution is explicitly treated. Three different regimes during the evolution of the grain population can be identified.
