Pore Network Modeling of Core Forming Melts in Planetesimals

Early in the history of the solar system, planetesimals were differentiated into metallic cores. In some planetesimals, this differentiation took place by percolation of the denser core forming liquid through a lighter solid silicate matrix. A key factor in core formation by percolation is the estab...
