Dust and neutral gas modeling of the inner atmospheres of cometsThis paper summarizes the present, preencounter understanding of the physical and chemical processes controlling the inner (r less than 1000 km) region of cometary atmospheres. Special emphasis was attached to compiling a self-consistent set of governing equations. This review is aimed at readers who want to understand the present status of the mantle and coma regions and/or who want to develop new, next generation models which will be needed as the large volume of new observational data will become available in the near future.
