I have added the ability to simulate meteors to my simulator.
It can calculate the trajectory, how much mass is left, the diameter, megatons of energy when it hits the ground, and crater diameter. See sample inputs 68 to 70 in Java applet at: http://spacetethers.com/spacetethers.html My results seem to fit with others I have found. This gives me some more confidence in the simulator's results for capsule reentry. It does not simulate meteor breakup, so it is not entirely realistic. It also neglects conduction of heat within the meteor. So buyer be ware. -- Vince |
