The dynamics of protoplanetary disks is studied in a local approximation. A solution in the form of an anticyclonic vortex with a triaxial-ellipsoidal shape is obtained with linear circulation of matter in the plane of rotation of the disk. The formation of planetesimals from dust by vortices of this type is examined.
