We present the results of a three dimensional, locally isothermal,
non-self-gravitating SPH code which models protoplanetary disks with two
fluids: gas and dust. We ran simulations of a 1 Msun star surrounded by a
0.01
Msun disk comprising 99% gas and 1% dust in mass and extending from 0.5 to
~300
AU. The grain size ranges from 0.001 mm to 10 m for the low resolution (~25
000
SPH particles) simulations and from 0.1 mm to 10 cm for the high resolution
(~160 000 SPH particles) simulations. Dust grains are slowed down by the
sub-Keplerian gas and lose angular momentum, forcing them to migrate towards
the central star and settle to the midplane. The gas drag efficiency varies
according to the grain size, with the larger bodies being weakly influenced
and
following marginally perturbed Keplerian orbits, while smaller grains are
strongly coupled to the gas. For intermediate sized grains, the drag force
decouples the dust and gas, allowing the dust to preferentially migrate
radially and efficiently settle to the midplane. The resulting dust
distributions for each grain size will indicate, when grain growth is added,
the regions when planets are likely to form.
