Scientific paper

Meteorite impacts can be studied by computer simulation: Large meteorite impacts are among those phenomena that are either too large or too dangerous to study experimentally. Although impacts have affected the formation and surfaces of nearly every body in the solar system, we are limited to observing the results of past events. Investigation of impact processes is thus divided into observational studies of the traces of past impacts, small-scale analogue laboratory experiments and, most recently, detailed computer modeling. Computer models offer the possibility of studying craters at all scales, provided we completely understand the physics of the process and possess enough computer power to simulate the features of interest.
