Torques on the planets normalised by (dΓ/dM)0, see Eq. (10). Upper panel: planet embedded into a disc with VSI. The inner torques are smaller then expected and the outer torques are stronger. Lower panel: planet embedded into a disc with generic α-viscosity. The torques are very similar to the results of D’Angelo & Lubow (2010). In both simulations the torques for the heaviest planet are reduced, due to the lower surface density in the gap.
