Dust Dynamics in Radially Convective Regions of Protoplanetary Disks by Min-Kai Lin, Marius Lehmann

“…We revisit the interaction between dust and the COS with high-resolution spectral simulations in the unstratified, axisymmetric Boussinesq shearing box framework. We find zonal flows, or pressure bumps, formed by the COS trap dust, as expected, but dust densities increase at most by a factor of O (10) over its background value due to the zonal flows’ unsteady nature. …”
