Scientific paper

Nonlinear dynamical equations describing the atmospheric dynamical interaction of comet Swift-Tuttle -- possibly due to approach the Earth in 2126 -- are formulated, and mass ablation, velocity reductions and flight times are evaluated. These calculations suggest that the atmosphere offers little resistance to such a massive hypersonically traveling body. In addition, an analytical formulation is also found which is shown to agree well with the detailed nonlinear computational results.
