Collision probability due to space debris clouds through a continuum approach

As the debris population increases, the probability of collisions in space grows. Because of the high level of released energy, even collisions with small objects may produce thousands of fragments. Propagating the trajectories of all the objects produced by a breakup could be computationally expens...
