The effects of turbulence on the dynamics of dust grains in protoplanetary discs is of relevant importance in the study of pre-planetesimal formation. The complex interplay between gas and dust and the modelling of turbulence require numerical simulations.

A statistical study of the noise in SPH simulations of gas-only protoplanetary accretion discs is performed in order to determine if it could mimic turbulence and to what extent.
