The streaming instability is a mechanism to overcome the barriers impeding the growth of solid particles to planetesimals in laminarflows. It is thus a viable mechanism to close a gap in the theory of planet formation. Via the streaming instability, particles can beconcentrated in dense filaments, in which gravitationally unstable particle clumps form planetesimals. Currently, the PhD student UrsSch\"afer at the Hamburg Observatory is performing numerical simulations to investigate the efficiency of the streaming instability to form planetesimals for various disc properties. This is done with a novel numerical approach including the gravitational potential of thecentral star in global simulations with the FLASH code.

流动不稳定性是一种克服层流中固体颗粒生长为星子的障碍的机制。因此，它是弥补行星形成理论空白的可行机制。通过流动的不稳定性，粒子可以集中在致密的细丝中，其中重力不稳定的粒子团形成星子。目前，汉堡天文台的博士生 UrsSch 正在进行数值模拟，以研究流动不稳定性的效率，以形成具有各种盘特性的星子。这是通过一种新颖的数值方法完成的，其中包括全球中心恒星的引力势用FLASH代码进行模拟。
