Planetesimal formation by an axisymmetric radial bump of the column density of the gas in a protoplanetary disk
Abstract We investigate the effect of a radial pressure bump in a protoplanetary disk on planetesimal formation. We performed the two-dimensional numerical simulation of the dynamical interaction of solid particles and gas with an initially defined pressure bump under the assumption of axisymmetry....
