As planetary embryos grow, gravitational stirring of planetesimals by embryos strongly enhances random velocities of planetesimals and makes collisions between planetesimals destructive. The resulting fragments are ground down by successive collisions. Eventually the smallest fragments are removed b
Two ways to speed up N-body simulations of planet formation are (i) to confine motion to 2 spatial dimensions, or (ii) to artificially enhance the physical radii of the bodies. These short cuts have the same effect of increasing the collision probability between objects. Here, I compare the results
