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
The main aspect of this paper is to provide a synthesis between two major lines of development in the understanding of mass and heat transfer in a volatile porous medium. The first one is a macroscopic approach, where the medium is considered as a continuum, and heat and mass transfer equations are
