Description
Consistent time-dependent modeling of microphysics, especially thermochemistry and radiation-matter interactions, is desired by the studies on protoplanetary disks. In this talk, I will introduce our GPU-accelerated numerical infrastructures for consistent microphysics co-evolved with (magneto-)hydrodynamic simulations. Their applications in the studies of protoplanetary disk dispersal processes will be elaborated, including photoevaporation and magnetized wind-driven accretion mechanisms. Formation of disk substructures is also explored using our system, emphasizing the necessity of non-ideal MHD consistently coupled with microphysics.
