The necessities and techniques for 3D, time-dependent models for surface layers of an ellipsoidal nucleus with topography are discussed. Previous models of cometary nuclei are reviewed in two categories: surface models and interior models. The surface models are further divided into four subgroups, depending on the physics included and the assumptions made in the models. The next generation of models for comet nucleus surface layers is outlined, and a qualitative discussion of the anticipated enhancements in the physical realization is given. The relevant physics for a 3D comet nucleus model and computational considerations for the model are outlined. These models are argued to be of great importance for the Comet Rendezvous and Asteroid Flyby and Comet Nucleus Sample Return missions and the Comet Simulation laboratory experiments. Because of the repetitive nature of the equations to be solved in this 3D problem, it is an ideal application to massively parallel supercomputers.
