N2 - The Protoplanetary Discussions conference-held in Edinburgh, UK, from
2016 March 7th-11th-included several open sessions led by participants.
This paper reports on the discussions collectively concerned with the
multi-physics modelling of protoplanetary discs, including the
self-consistent calculation of gas and dust dynamics, radiative
transfer, and chemistry. After a short introduction to each of these
disciplines in isolation, we identify a series of burning questions and
grand challenges associated with their continuing development and
integration. We then discuss potential pathways towards solving these
challenges, grouped by strategical, technical, and collaborative
developments. This paper is not intended to be a review, but rather to
motivate and direct future research and collaboration across typically
distinct fields based on community-driven input, to encourage further
progress in our understanding of circumstellar and protoplanetary discs.
