Abstract: | This work is devoted to modeling of the transverse scattering of meteoroid fragments in the atmosphere by adopting supersonic
gas dynamics around a system of bodies. Artem’eva and Shuvalov (1996, Shock Waves, 367) and Zhdan et al. (2004, Dokl. Phys.,
315–317) found that the transverse force decreases with the increase of the distance between fragments, that is, fragments
do not separate in a transverse direction under the action of constant repulsion force. This work on the decreasing transverse
force uses the values of the transverse force coefficient by Zhdan et al. (2004, Dokl. Phys., 315–317) obtained from numerical
modeling for spheres in a supersonic flow to derive the analytical solution of the dynamic equation for a fragment. The new
model of layer-by-layer scattering of meteoroid fragments moving as a system of bodies is constructed on the basis of the
analytical solutions derived in this work and the numerical data by Zhdan et al. (2005, Dokl. Phys., 514–518). |
