Interactions of High and Low-Mass Planets with Protoplanetary Disks

Abstract
We present three-dimensional numerical simulations of the interaction of a circular-orbit planet with a protoplanetary disk. We calculate the flow pattern, the accretion rate, and torques on the planet. We consider planet masses ranging from 1 Earth mass to 1 Jupiter mass.
