Stokes number of CAIs, a dimensionless coupling constant that indicates how well the dust grains are coupled to the gas. Lower values of the Stokes number imply better coupling to the gas and a shorter stopping time τstop, which evens out velocity differences between the dust and gas. For a Stokes number that is zero, the radial drift velocity of the gas υd equals the radial velocity of the gas itself υR, as shown by Eq. (25).
