Impact-induced compaction of primitive solar system solids: The need for mesoscale modelling and experiments

Primitive solar system solids were accreted as highly porous bimodal mixtures of mm-sized chondrules and sub-µm matrix grains. To understand the compaction and lithification of these materials by shock, it is necessary to investigate the process at the mesoscale; i.e., the scale of individual chondr...
