Time evolution of the azimuthally averaged meridional velocity at the disk midplane (Z = 0). Shown (from top to bottom) are the simulations of VSI-turbulent disks without an embedded planet, with an embedded Saturn-mass planet, and with an embedded Jupiter-mass planet. The orbits are measured at the planets’ radial location (100 au), shown by the black dotted lines. The figure x-axis starts at the time at which the planets are inserted in the simulations.
