Book excerpt: The collective interaction of solid particulate matter with flowing gas is one of the fundamental processes occurring in planet-forming discs. Small dust grains and pebbles are comparable to or smaller than the mean free path of the gas in observed and simulated discs, where the collective force of particles on the gas has been predicted to create a fluid 'streaming instability' that can produce a turbulent flow and associated localised solid-density enhancements. Such fluid instabilities are therefore favoured amongst candidate mechanisms that concentrate solids in the initial stages of pl...
