Description
In recent years turbulence has shown to be of major importance for the formation of planets
in disks around new born stars. This is true in many respects, from the diffusion of dusty
material, heating of gas and dust, turbulence driven coagulation, gravoturbulent formation
of planetesimals, migration of planets and the general evolution of disks. This presentation
shall provide a concise overview on the current state of planet formation theory and the role
turbulence plays within.
