Hydrogen and methane in Titan's atmosphere: chemistry, diffusion, escape, and the Hunten limiting flux principle (This article is part of a Special Issue that honours the work of Dr. Donald M. Hunten FRSC who passed away in December 2010 after a very illustrious career)

Strobel, Darrell F.

One of Professor Donald M. Hunten's lasting contributions to the field of planetary atmospheres was the principle of the (Hunten) limiting flux, where the escape of light species is limited by the rate at which they can diffuse through the atmosphere. While his limiting flux expression has been well tested for hydrogen's escape from the Earth's at…
