Scientific paper

The various physical phenomena involved in the motion of large meteoric bodies in the atmosphere are discussed. An attempt is made to describe the laws that govern ablation, aerodynamic braking, ionization, heating, and the radiation flux from the compressed air layer behind the forward shock front. It is shown that this radiation flux is the factor primarily responsible for heating and ablation. The dynamics equations of a radiant gas are derived, and methods for calculating hypersonic flows with allowance for radiation are reviewed.
