Jet-Induced Cratering of a Granular Surface with Application to Lunar Spaceports
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The erosion of lunar soil by rocket exhaust plumes is investigated experimentally. This has identified the diffusion-driven flow in the bulk of the sand as an important but previously unrecognized mechanism for erosion ...

Thermal Extraction of Volatiles from Lunar and Asteroid Regolith in Axisymmetric Crank–Nicolson Modeling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A physics-based computer model has been developed to support the development of volatile extraction from the regolith of the Moon and asteroids. The model is based upon empirical data sets for extraterrestrial soils and ...
