From left to right: snapshots of the evolution of particles at different times within a Jovian CPD with parameters ﹩{\dot{M}}_{p}={10}^{-7}\,{M}_{\mathrm{Jup}}\,{\mathrm{yr}}^{-1}﹩ and α = 10−3. From top to bottom, each row displays the evolution of solids of different initial sizes with radii of 10−6, 10−1, 1, 103, and 104 m. The radial and vertical positions of the solids are expressed in RJup and local gas scale height respectively. The color of each particle illustrates its composition with bluer particles having a higher water ice mass fraction.
