AbstractIn this work, we carry out two-fluid (gas+dust) hydrodynamical simulations on a large family of models in order to study the dust coagulation and the dust-gas dynamical processes in protoplanetary disks. Our theoretical effort is guided by the observational results of disks in nearby star forming regions at sub-millimeter and millimeter (mm) wavelengths. By a systematic comparison with the continuum emission at several mm bands from ALMA observations, we find that ringed structures are predicated in the unresolved faint disks for those with mm spectral indexes as low as about 2.0. Our parameter exploration can also be used to constrain the fragmentation velocity, one key parameter of the dust coagulation model, and some other disk parameters.
