...The gas interacts with each of the particles via their mutual drag force, which is characterized by the stopping time ts (Whipple 1972; Weidenschilling 1977a) or its dimensionless counterpart τs ≡ ΩKts (Youdin & Goodman 2005)....

...For example, the timescale for the radial drift of meter-sized boulders at ∼1 au of the minimum-mass solar nebula (MMSN; Weidenschilling 1977b; Hayashi 1981) is ∼100 yr, significantly shorter than the typical lifetime of protoplanetary disks....

...Solid particles marginally coupled to the gas via drag force drift radially inwards and are quickly removed from protoplanetary disks due to the gaseous head wind (Adachi et al. 1976; Weidenschilling 1977a)....

...This process of growing planetary cores covers more than 30 orders of magnitude in mass and more than 13 orders of magnitude in size, required to be completed within the 1–5 Myr lifetime of their natal protoplanetary disks (e.g., Haisch et al. 2001; Mamajek 2009)....

...The standard sheared periodic boundary conditions are imposed (Brandenburg et al. 1995; Hawley et al. 1995), and we assume the vertical dimension is also periodic....
