Temperature and mass flow in shock layer and in ablation-product vapor layer as functions of distance from ablating wall for Benesov meteoroid. The abscissa is the distance from wall in meters; the left ordinate is the temperature in K; and the right ordinate is the mass flow rate normalized by its post-shock value ρv/(ρv)s. The flight altitude is 63.5 km s−1; flight velocity is 21 km s−1; nose radius is 0.75 m; and spallation factor is 1.
