2D temperature profiles from our SSI tests. The T_g (left) and T_d (middle) columns come from our simulations with realistic t_s, whereas T_ref (right) is from our reference simulations with t_s = (2π)⁻¹ × 10⁻¹⁰ yr. For ease of interpretation, we overplot β = 1 (white) and τ = 1 (red) surfaces. The reference disk relaxes rapidly to a smooth hydrostatic configuration; the bulk of the realistic disk does so as well, although differences persist in the slowly-cooling disk atmosphere.
