Fully 3-dimensional calculations of dust mantle formation for a model of Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko

A fully 3-dimensional implicit numerical model for comet nucleus evolution is presented, emphasizing dust mantle formation. A spherical configuration is considered with an initial composition of amorphous H 2O ice and dust, taking into account a discrete dust-grain size distribution. The model is ap...
