Physics

Scientific paper

The scatter of the fragments of a dissociated meteoroid, which is caused by their deviation from the original flight-path due to distinctive features of their aerodynamic shape, is investigated. For fragments of the simplest geometric shape, it is shown by numerical simulations that this mechanism contributes to expanding the debris cloud no less than the interaction between the fragments immediately following breakup, while they are surrounded by a common shock wave. An approximate formula is proposed for assessing the debris scatter of the disrupted body, and this formula may be used to evaluate the parameters of crater fields.
