The presently available multidimensional dusty gasdynamic cometary atmosphere models are reviewed. This paper examines the simplifying assumptions and their potential consequences. Special attention is paid to the question of potential nightside dust accumulation presently predicted by Korosmezey and Gombosi (1989).
