Scientific paper

Global two-dimensional inviscid protoplanetary disk simulation show the generation of vorticity in the co-orbital region of the planet. Emanating shock waves from the planet lead to non-conservation of vorticity along particle paths. As the system evolves, the potential vorticity (PV or vortensity) profiles eventually develop extrema which renders the disk unstable and vortices emerge. We discuss how these changes occur along particle paths.
