Abstract

Solar System dust dynamics is a relatively new research topic which is important for understanding the origin and evolution of the Solar System as well as for space missions. This paper presents a review of recent studies on Solar System dust dynamics. The dust mass production model based on experiments by previous research for the impact-ejected process is introduced, and the initial mass distribution inferred from the in-situ detections and experiments is shown.This paper also reviews research on the modelling of perturbation forces and commonly used analytical methods. Modelling and experimental studies are presented for both dust charging and sputtering effects which affect the particle dynamics. Finally, the typical formation/migration mechanisms of particle populations as well as their significance on the dust distributions are summarized.

Key words
