Trap blocking efficiency ℬ (Eq. (4)) of a dust trap by t = 5 Myr for a range of planet mass Mp (30, 100, 300 M⊕) and location ap (5, 10, 40 au). The fragmentation velocity is set to vfrag = 1 m s−1 (Sect. 2.1). For each case, we run simulations for 25 pairs of viscosity αvisc and local turbulence δturb. In total, 300 simulations were used to build this figure. As discussed in Sect. 3.1, a blocking efficiency close to zero indicates a highly permeable dust trap, while a blocking efficiency approaching unity corresponds to a highly blocking trap. We indicate an estimate of the Stokes number of fragmentation-limited pebbles (
) in the dust trap under the x-axis, as it varies with δturb and position in the disc.
