Funded Activity Summary
Gaps, rings and holes in protoplanetary discs. This project aims to provide a theoretical interpretation for recent observations of protoplanetary discs. Recent first images from the Atacama Large Millimetre Array (ALMA) telescope in Chile and the Very Large Telescope (VLT) have provided a snapshot of planets forming around young stars. This project will use three-dimensional simulations to understand how newborn planets can carve structures such as 'gaps' and 'holes' seen by telescopes. The project aims to develop an algorithm, capable of simulating a mixture of gas and multiple types of solid particles, which is applicable in astronomy and engineering.Funded Activity Details
