Gas flow in near surface comet like porous structures: Application to 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko Open

Chariton Christou, S. Kokou Dadzie, Raphael Marschall, David Marshall, Nathalie Thomas , et al. · 2018

We performed an investigation of a comet like porous surface to study how sub-surface sublimation with subsequent flow through the porous medium can lead to higher gas temperatures at the surface. A higher gas temperature of the emitted ga…

Gas flow in the near-surface porous boundary layer of the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko using micro-CT images Open

Chariton Christou, S. Kokou Dadzie, N. Thomas, P. Hartogh, L. Jordá , et al. · 2018

While ESA’s Rosetta mission has formally been completed, the data analysis and interpretation continues. Here, we address the physics of the gas flow at the surface of the comet. Understanding the sublimation of ice at the surface of the n…
