Power spectrum of the particle density field, computed via interpolation on to the hydrodynamic grid in a fixed (across runs) slice centered on the disk midplane. The power spectra are computed prior to turning on self-gravity, in the saturated state of the streaming instability. Apart from moderate differences at large k, the slopes of the power spectra are relatively consistent between all three runs.
