It has been demonstrated i n Squire & Hopkins (2018) that a related settling (and streaming) instabil ity (here SSI) occurs as particles sediment towards the midplane. However \, the ability of the SSI to concentrate solids and generate turbulence i s yet to be addressed. To shed light on this aspect\, we present a system atic study of the saturated state of the SSI by performing a series of num erical simulations with the multi-fluid version of the FARGO3D code. We fu rthermore have extended the existing linear analysis to more realistic sce narios including particle size distributions and background disk turbulenc e. Our findings suggest that particle clumping is too weak to trigger pla netesimal formation during the settling of particles\, but the SSI could g enerate weak levels of turbulence in otherwise nearly laminar regimes.\n\n https://meetings.aip.de/event/1/contributions/47/ LOCATION:Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) Lecture Hall URL:https://meetings.aip.de/event/1/contributions/47/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
