High-angular resolution observations at sub-millimeter/millimeter wavelengths of disks surrounding young stars have shown that their morphology is made of azimuthally-symmetric or point-symmetric substructures, in some cases with spiral arms, localized spur- or crescent-shaped features. The majority of theoretical studies with the aim of interpreting the observational results have focused on disk models with planets, under the assumption that the disk substructures are due to the disk-planet interaction. However, so far only in very few cases exoplanets have been detected in these systems. Furthermore, some substructures are expected to appear \textit{before} planets form, as they are necessary to drive the concentration of small solids which can lead to the formation of planetesimals. In this work we present observational predictions from high-resolution 3D radiative hydrodynamical models which follow the evolution of gas and solids in a protoplanetary disk. We focus on substructures in the distribution of millimeter-sized and smaller solid particles produced by the vertical shear instability. We show that their characteristics are compatible with some of the shallow gaps detected in recent observations at sub-mm/mm wavelengths, and present predictions for future observations with better sensitivity and angular resolution with ALMA and a Next Generation Very Large Array.

从附近原恒星周围的圆盘发出的尘埃连续体的成像揭示了不同的子结构。近年来,理论上的努力已经加强,以调查多远的内在动力学的原行星盘(PPD)可以导致这些功能。在非理想磁流体力学(MHD)领域的湍流是一个候选人,解释产生的纬向流,可以导致当地的尘埃增强。采用径向变化的圆柱盘模型,考虑初始净磁通的垂直和方位组合,对湍流PPDs中由霍尔效应引起的自组织进行了三维非理想MHD模拟。为此,NIRVANA-III和FARGO 3D MHD代码中加入了新的模块。此外,我们还包括尘埃颗粒,在流体近似处理,以研究它们的演变受到新兴的纬向流。在一个占主导地位的霍尔效应的制度,我们稳健地获得大规模的组织浓度的垂直磁场,保持稳定的数百个轨道。对于磁盘与垂直初始净通量单独,我们确认的纬向流和涡的存在下,引入超开普勒气体流的区域。包括一个中等强度的净方位磁通量可以显着改变的动态,部分地防止自组织的纬向流。当等离子体β参数小于50时,在垂直方向的磁通量中会出现大尺度的近轴对称结构。在所有情况下,我们表明,新兴的功能是能够积累的斯托克斯数范围内的尘埃颗粒。
