We performed N-body simulations of dense particulate disks and quantitatively analyzed angular momentum transfer processes therein. Angular momentum transfer is dominated by both gravitational torque and particles' collective motion associated with the structure. These processes depend on surface density, and do not depend on particle size or number if the structure is resolved enough.
