Abstract
Warps seem to be common in protoplanetary disks, as recent observations suggest. They may arise in inclined binary systems, during close encounters with other stars, or from late-infall events. The warp significantly influences the disk dynamics and leaves distinctive imprints on observations, such as non-axisymmetric shadows, and characteristic kinematic signatures. I investigate warped disks both in hydrodynamical simulations to understand their formation and evolution, as well as in synthetic observations to characterize their observable features. Join me on a journey through simulations to uncover the secrets of warps!
