Modelling Large Body Impacts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 April 2016
Abstract
Hypervelocity impacts are considered to be the main mechanism for the production of craters on the surfaces of planets and moons. Two- and three-dimensional numerical simulations for the first few seconds of large-body impacts will be discussed. Both normal and oblique impacts will be considered, with particular emphasis being placed on the distribution of impact products.
