Zusammenfassung
The Protoplanetary Discussions conference --- held in Edinburgh, UK, from 7th
--11th March 2016 --- included several open sessions led by participants. This
paper reports on the discussions collectively concerned with the multiphysics
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.
