[ Computational Astrophysics Planets and Planet Formation ]
Robin Humble works on building planets with dusty gas using a parallel particle code. Drag forces between the dust and gas phases in a protoplanetary disk determine the dust dynamics, where protoplanets will form, and (eventually) what their compositions will be. Some progress is also being made on the addition of fluid dynamics to a large cosmological Tree-PM N-body code.
