TURBULENCE, PEBBLES AND PLANETESIMALS : THE ORIGIN OF MINOR BODIES IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM

CORDIS · observation · Publication date unknown

ze distribution: 1. Development of tools to measure the transport, diffusion, and collisions of dust grains for arbitrary MHD or Radiation Hydro disk simulations to derive via an Coagulation Code and Machine Learning Technique a consistent particle size distribution for consistent opacities and ionisation rates to feed back into the turbulence simulation. 2. Implementation of a tree-solver for the gravitational attraction among pebbles in self-consistent turbulence simulations to identify the properties of pebble clouds that can undergo gravitational collapse. 3. Integration of an implicit solver for our Lagrangian Particle scheme to model the collapse of pebble clouds, while not only deriving a mass function and multiplicity, but with a model for elasticity and porosity analyse the spin, shape, and compression for the forming planetesimals, comets and asteroids. In close collaboration with our scientific community we will calibrate our turbulence models and the planetesimal formation process on the observation of disks around young stars as well as observational and laboratory dat
