Numerical modelling of impact melt production in porous rocks

Melting of rocks by impact is a fundamental geologic process that results from shock wave compression and subsequent release from high pressure. Shock-melted material is found in many terrestrial craters; however, most impact craters in sedimentary targets, which are typically porous, have been repo...
