Are you new to the field of protoplanetary disks but want to jump straight to the action? Have you been doing this for years but just want to make sure you got your equations right?
This cheatsheet is designed for you!
Here you will find a collection of basic equations to kickstart your journey in disk hydrodynamics, in a neat two-page, one-sheet printable format. The goal is to provide a quick reference for the most common equations used in the field, so you can focus on the science and not on the math.
Topics covered:
- Basic protoplanetary disk structure
- Accretion via $\alpha$ viscosity
- Dust dynamics (drift, settling)
- Radiative cooling
⚠️ Please note: this project is a work in progress. If you have any suggestions or corrections, please let me know!
