Title : Rim Worlds: Computational astrophysics of accretion disks
Abstract: Understanding the formation of (exo)-planetary systems
requires the combined effort of advanced computational
models and high-resolution multi-wavelength observations.
In my talk, I will review our current understanding of
the dynamic evolution of protoplanetary disks.
3D multi-physics simulations and high-performance computing
allow us to study the thermal and kinematical evolution of
young circumstellar disks and planets' birthplaces in detail.
I will also highlight why the inner disk regions, especially
those close to the silicate sublimation, are crucial for
forming terrestrial planets.
