DustPy

Dust Coagulation and Evolution in Protoplanetary Disks

DustPy is a Python package to simulate the evolution of dust in protoplanetary disks.

DustPy simulates the radial evolution of gas and dust in a protoplanetary disk, involving viscous evolution the the gas disk, advection and diffusion of the dust disk, as well as dust growth by solving the Smoluchowski equation.

Please read the documentation for a detailed description. By using any version of DustPy you agree to these terms of usage.

Installation

DustPy can be installed via the Python Package Index
