Maximum solid density evolution as a function of time comparing the effect of particle number for runs with τ_s = 10⁻³−10⁻¹ and q = 3, q = 3.5. The dagger symbol notes the model where we initialized the particle position with a different randomization than that of the system corresponding to the orange curve, with the same particle number. The metallicity is shown on the top axis. The dashed line corresponds to ρ_p,max ∕ρ_g = 100, which represents the limit of solid clumping. All curves show similar trends, independent of the particle number and the slope of the solid size distribution.
