Abstract:A protoplanetary disk is a quasi-toroidal gas-dust mixture rotating around a protostar that creates a complex intensity field in the internal disk medium in which planets are believed to form. In this work we start to model an idealized disk describing the radiation intensity propagating along a vertical disk section using the P-N Approximation. This unidimensional approach can be extended to a flared surface case but the problem rapidly raises complexity in solving a simple cylindrical mid-plane region. The f… Show more
