Abstract: Meteorite impacts can be studied by computer simulation:
Large meteorite impacts are among those phenomena that are
either too large or too dangerous to study experimentally.
Although impacts have affected the formation and surfaces
of nearly every body in the solar system, we are limited to
observing the results of past events. Investigation of
impact processes is thus divided into observational studies
of the traces of past impacts, small-scale analogue
laboratory experiments and, most recently, detailed
computer modeling. Computer models offer the possibility of
studying craters at all scales, provided we completely
understand the physics of the process and possess enough
computer power to simulate the features of interest.
