Abstract
A summary of the results of a numerical study of the growth of solid particles in the vicinity of an azimuthally symmetric density enhancement of a protostellar disk are presented. The effects of gas drag and pressure gradients on the rate of growth of dust particles and their settling on the midplane of the nebula are also discussed.
