Arguments are presented to suggest that surface layers of the nuclei of periodic comets consist of crystallized rather than amorphous water ice and thermal modelling of such nuclei is presented. The rate of sublimation of water from a rotating nucleus is found to be greater than that from a uniforml
The gas transport through non-volatile random porous media is investigated numerically. We extend our previous research of the transport of molecules inside the uppermost layer of a cometary surface . We assess the validity of the simplified capillary model and its assumptions to simulate the gas fl
