Post-processed temperature structure of the disk calculated using the method outlined in Birnstiel et al. (2010) with a self-consistent treatment of the opacity calculated using the size distribution and dust-to-gas ratio from our simulations. The disk properties at t = 1 Myr are used to calculate the temperature structure and taken from simulations for which vfrag is 1 and 10 m s−1 for ice-free and icy grains, respectively. The water-ice line (150–250 K) is marked with thick lines for each temperature profile.
