Title of Project:
Bat Impact on Turbines and Carcass Distribution

Code:
TW2122A

Supervisor:
Dr Thomas E. Woolley

Project description: We will model the impact of a bat bodies on a turbine as a simple projectile problem. Based on the stochastic distribution of bat impacts we will derive the probability density of bat carcasses. This can then be compared to data. Modelling assumptions will be updated as necessary, including air resistance and carcass rolling.
