Claims
We have constructed a multifluid model framework capable of accurately simulating polydisperse pebble accretion consistent with previous studies. This framework has advantages for simulating higher planet masses, as well as modelling multiple pebble species which are coupled to the gas. We find the perturbation of the protoplanet on the gas-disc lowering accretion rate when assuming a MRN-distribution of solids.
That a modest number of discrete pebble fluid species with chosen Stokes numbers in [10^{-2}, 10^0] faithfully represents the continuous underlying size distribution without introducing significant numerical bias in accretion rates or gas-solid coupling.
A multifluid model for polydisperse pebble accretion validates against static-disc studies and finds gas perturbations lower efficiency for high-Stokes-number pebbles while raising it for low-St ones, with rates dominated by the largest pebbles and a higher polydisperse-to-monodisperse ratio than in
