SPH simulation of the formation and evolution of protoplanetary disks

The formation and evolution of protoplanetary disks is simulated by computer modelling, using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The suitability of SPH for modelling disks is investigated, and problems are identified with the SPH implementation of Artificial Viscosity in disks with Ke...
