In the near future, several space missions are scheduled, which will closely investigate short-period comets. Some of these (e.g., ROSETTA) will also deliver landing probes for in situ investigations of the nucleus' surface. Therefore there is now renewed interest in the structure and behavior of co
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
