Scientific paper

The present treatment of solar-nebula density-wave effects on the dynamics of a planetesimal disk compares disk tides to other mechanisms that are conventionally encompassed in accretion modeling. It is here hypothesized that density waves become the dominant damping mechanism of dispersion velocities in a disk made up of runaway planetesimals; they accordingly control its equilibrium state. It is noted that the consequent dispersion velocities tend to scale with the speed of sound rather than with the planetesimal escape velocity.
