星子能通过碰撞融合形成吗?

Can planetesimals form by collisional fusion?

Dhrubaditya Mitra, J. S. Wettlaufer, Axel Brandenburg

摘要:

作为研究原行星体在湍流拱星盘中生长的试验平台,我们采用直接数值模拟的方法研究了巨砾周围的粒子播种气体流动,并采用Peskin(2002)开创的浸没边界方法,在巨砾表面施加无滑移和非穿透边界条件,对流动进行了精确的描述。尘埃颗粒在湍流盘流的作用下与漂砾发生碰撞,计算了碰撞速度法向分量的概率密度函数。通过这种碰撞速度的统计检查,我们测试了最近开发的碰撞融合的概念,它提供了一个物理基础的范围内的碰撞速度表现出完美的坚持。一个巨砾可以足够快地成长,在圆盘演化的时间尺度上进入开普勒轨道。

英文摘要:

As a test bed for the growth of protoplanetary bodies in a turbulent circumstellar disk we examine the fate of a boulder using direct numerical simulations of particle seeded gas flowing around it. We provide an accurate description of the flow by imposing no-slip and non-penetrating boundary conditions on the boulder surface using the immersed boundary method pioneered by Peskin (2002). Advected by the turbulent disk flow, the dust grains collide with the boulder and we compute the probability density function (PDF) of the normal component of the collisional velocity. Through this examination of the statistics of collisional velocities we test the recently developed concept of collisional fusion which provides a physical basis for a range of collisional velocities exhibiting perfect sticking. A boulder can then grow sufficiently rapidly to settle into a Keplerian orbit on disk evolution time scales.
