Regolith density-depth model

Regolith / geotechnics · LUNA regolith density-depth kernel · version 0.1

Purpose
Estimate bulk density variation with depth for overburden and buried-structure screening.
Source
Vectoris working formulation informed by published lunar regolith density-depth literature.
Validity range
Screening-level profiles. Not a substitute for site-specific geotechnical investigation.
Uncertainty
Particle-size, compaction history and polar ice content are not resolved. Parameter choice dominates output.

Assumptions

  • Continuum representation of bulk density versus depth
  • No ice-bearing polar stratigraphy

Status legend

Implementation status and validation status are independent. IMPLEMENTED means a computational module exists in the LUNA toolchain. It does not mean VERIFIED. CalculiX export is file exchange, not FEM verification.
