Overall results of our numerical simulations for different combinations of the disk structure and Fp/g. Top panels: given disk structures (the black lines; see Table 1). Middle panels: resultant midplane pebble-to-gas ratio of the spatial density, ρp/ρg. Bottom panels: resultant planetesimal surface density formed by the ND mode and SI (Eq. (8)). The blue, green, and red lines indicate time evolution. By t ≃ 1 × 105 yr, the system reaches a steady-state in ρp/ρg and then planetesimals keep forming in a steady width. The dashed gray lines in the top panels represent analytically derived critical αmid/αacc for a given Fp/g (Eq. (11)), indicating that disks of smaller αmid/αacc than this critical value develop the ND mode. The gray lines in the middle panels represent the critical ρp/ρg above which the ND mode occurs (i.e., ρp/ρg = 1). Here, αacc = 10−2, τs = 0.1, Mg = 10−8 M⊙ yr−1, and kSI = 10−3 are used.
