During the last decade much work has proceeded on the problem of understanding the complex physiochemical processes associated with the entry of large meteoroids into the atmosphere. In this paper the respective areas of ablation, luminosity and infrasonic wave generation are surveyed from the viewpoint of the physics of fluids. Related work on meteorite cratering processes is not considered in this brief survey. Companion papers by Baggaley and by Ceplecha consider additional areas of current interest in meteor and fireball research.
