Description
This thesis studies the temporal and spacial evolution of both gaseous and solid materials in protoplanetary disks. A model for evolving gas and dust as well as water in forms of both ice and vapor is set up. The icy dust grains experience hydrodynamic transport, collisional growth as well as sublimation/condensation of water when the disk temperature allows it. The gas is likewise transported hydrodynamically. The intended results of the project, aims to showcase the distribution of water along both disk radii and dust grain sizes through several test cases evolving the disk for Myrs.
