Protoplanetary Disk Turbulence Driven by the Streaming Instability: Linear Evolution and Numerical Methods
We present local simulations that verify the linear streaming instability that arises from aerodynamic coupling between solids and gas in protoplanetary disks. This robust instability creates enhancements in the particle density in order to tap the free energy of the relative drift between solids and gas, generated by the radial …
