Numerical Simulations of Tidal Deformation and Resulting Light Curves of Small Bodies: Material Constraints of 99942 Apophis and 1I/‘Oumuamua
In this paper, we present an open-source software (Simulator of Asteroid Malformation Under Stress, SAMUS ) that simulates constant-density, constant-viscosity liquid bodies subject to tidal forces for a range of assumed viscosities and sizes. This software solves the Navier–Stokes equations on a fi...
