Physics

Scientific paper

Laboratory impact experiments using non-volatile, particulate targets produce long-duration flashes, a result of thermal emissions generated by heated and melted materials [1-3]. These experiments have been used to assess the effects of initial conditions, in particular velocity and impact angle, on the observed impact flash evolution [4-5]. Numerical simulations carried out using CTH with modified equations of state will be validated with the experimental data. The combination of the experimental and numerical results will be used to predict the appearance of the impact flash at planetary scales and to address impact melt generation at various impact velocity and size scales.
