摘要:

原行星盘动力学的流体动力学模拟是理解行星系统(包括我们自身系统)形成的重要工具。为使这些模拟在计算上可行,必须采用近似处理。在模拟尘埃流体时,一个常见的假设是Stokes数(表征颗粒与周围气体相互作用的量纲为一的数)保持恒定。然而,在盘内气体密度发生显著变化的区域(例如行星诱发的间隙附近),恒定Stokes数并非良好的近似。本文中,我们在流行的FARGO3D代码中放宽了恒定Stokes数的假设,采用半解析方程计算尘埃颗粒受到的曳力,从而转而采用恒定颗粒尺寸的假设。我们探讨了这一改变对向外和向内漂移颗粒的盘形态以及跨越间隙的颗粒通量的影响。结果表明,在某些情况下,采用恒定颗粒尺寸而非恒定Stokes数的假设会产生显著差异,凸显了采用更精确处理方法的重要性。

英文摘要:

Hydrodynamical simulations of protoplanetary disk dynamics are useful tools for understanding the formation of planetary systems, including our own. Approximations are necessary to make these simulations computationally tractable. A common assumption when simulating dust fluids is that of a constant Stokes number, a dimensionless number that characterizes the interaction between a particle and the surrounding gas. Constant Stokes number is not a good approximation in regions of the disk where the gas density changes significantly, such as near a planet-induced gap. In this paper, we relax the assumption of constant Stokes number in the popular FARGO3D code using semi-analytic equations for the drag force on dust particles, which enables an assumption of constant particle size instead. We explore the effect this change has on disk morphology and particle fluxes across the gap for both outward- and inward-drifting particles. The assumption of constant particle size, rather than constant Stokes number, is shown to make a significant difference in some cases, emphasizing the importance of the more accurate treatment.
