Dynamical Evolution and Growth of Protoplanets Embedded in a Turbulent Gas Disk

Simulations were performed to determine the effect of turbulence on protoplanets as they accrete inside of a planetary gas disk at the stage of planet formation that involves interactions between relatively large, similar sized bodies. The effect of turbulence was implemented into an existing N-Body...
