Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

A system of equations describing meteoroid motion in the terrestrial atmosphere is considered. It is shown that the system can be reduced to a single second-order differential equation for the height dependence of the mass. Approximate analytical expressions for the solution of the Cauchy problem for this equation are obtained, and conditions of applicability of these solutions are determined. The general case of the problem is solved numerically. Results of mathematical modeling are presented.
