Abstract
In this paper, we consider the motion of a solid spherical particle in a spherically expanding gas flow as an elementary model of the gas-dust atmosphere of a comet. Based on the results of numerical simulations we propose an approximation for the terminal dust velocity and an estimate of the maximum dust-to-gas mass flux ratio (in a dusty-gas flow with the dust size distribution given by a power law) which is consistent with assumption of negligible impact of dust on the gas flow (frequently used in simulations of dusty gas flows).
期刊介绍:
Icarus is devoted to the publication of original contributions in the field of Solar System studies. Manuscripts reporting the results of new research - observational, experimental, or theoretical - concerning the astronomy, geology, meteorology, physics, chemistry, biology, and other scientific aspects of our Solar System or extrasolar systems are welcome. The journal generally does not publish papers devoted exclusively to the Sun, the Earth, celestial mechanics, meteoritics, or astrophysics. Icarus does not publish papers that provide "improved" versions of Bode''s law, or other numerical relations, without a sound physical basis. Icarus does not publish meeting announcements or general notices. Reviews, historical papers, and manuscripts describing spacecraft instrumentation may be considered, but only with prior approval of the editor. An entire issue of the journal is occasionally devoted to a single subject, usually arising from a conference on the same topic. The language of publication is English. American or British usage is accepted, but not a mixture of these.
