Title:
Multi-species Protoplanetary Disks

Abstract:
Protoplanetary disks are made of gas and a small fraction of dust
particles of different sizes. While dust is not the main constituent,
its role in planet formation is crucial. In order to improve our
understanding of processes occurring in the early stages of planet
formation, we need to model and solve numerically the self-consistent
dynamics of gas and solids. In this talk, I will present and describe
some of the methods and tools we have been developing recently to solve
this dynamics, and I will show recent results obtained with them. The
framework developed and its implementation in the publicly available
code FARGO3D open up new opportunities for investigating a wide range of
fundamental processes occurring in multi-species protoplanetary disks
and planet formation.
