Dust trails of bolides in the atmosphere
Abstract
An algorithm is developed for investigating processes of the formation of dust trails of bolides in the atmosphere, and calculation results are presented. Condensation and coagulation in the dust trails are examined, along with trail expansion. The light-scattering characteristics of the trails are also studied.
