Abstract
We carry out 2-D high resolution numerical simulations of type I planet migration with different disk viscosities. We find that the planet migration is strongly dependent on disk viscosities. Two kinds of density wave damping mechanisms are discussed. Accordingly, the angular momentum transport can be either viscosity dominated or shock dominated, depending on the disk viscosities. The long term migration behavior is different as well. Influences of the Rossby vortex instability on planet migration are also discussed. In addition, we investigate very weak shock generation in inviscid disks by small mass planets and compare the results with prior analytic results.
