Abstract

In this paper we present a program for simulation of the two-component protoplanetary disc evolution. The model includes gas dynamics and collisionless solid body dynamics. Multigrid method for solution of Poisson equation in cylindrical coordinate system is described. An essentially parallel Poisson equation solver is constructed by means of applying Fast Fourier Transform along the angular direction. Processor workload rearrangement is performed in order to increase the speedup. The results of computational experiments are given to demonstrate the physical validity of the program.

The present work was supported by SB RAS integration project number 148, Subprogram 2 of RAS Presidium Program ”Biosphere genesis and evolution”, and RFBR (grant 05-01-00665), Dutch-Russian NWO-GRID project, contract NWO-RFBS 047.016.007 and Dutch-Russian NWO-Plasma project, contract NWO-RFBS 047.016.018.
