Abstract
This contribution describes the evolution of the protoplanetary disk using 2D numerical simulations. The 2D Euler equations are solved with the finite volume method. The numerical simulations are used to study the persistence and migration of anticyclonic vortices. Two cases are presented : (1) vortices produced by the Rossby Waves Instability, (2) a non-linear vortex model initially implemented into the disk. The migration of the vortices is due to spiral density waves excited by the vortex in the gas of the disk.
