Scientific paper

Disk/planet interaction in protoplanetary accretion disks causes young planets to migrate inward in the disk. The physical properties of this interaction have been well studied in the past assuming that the disk is laminar. However, it has been known since the early 90s that accretion disks are turbulent because of the magnetorotational instability. In the last few years, the computational power increase has enabled to set up large numerical simulations with the aim to study the effect of MHD turbulence on planet migration. Here, I review the main results obtained though these simulations and then present the coming years perspectives through some recent results.
