For these comparative studies I applied both simple model calculations and massive three - dimensional
direct numerical simulations on supercomputers.

Using
direct microscopic images, they observed the entire air - water interface throughout the capillary, which they then combined with ultra-precise mass measurements and
numerical simulations.
The GPI imaging furthermore clearly resolve the disk gap, allowing us to measure its width (~ 5 AU) and depth (~ 50 %) and thereby facilitating
direct comparison with detailed
numerical simulations of planets forming in circumstellar disks.
