Project description: <\/b>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.<\/p>\n
Prerequisite 2nd year modules:<\/b>
MA0232 Modelling with Differential Equations,
MA2300 Mechanics II,
MA2700 Numerical Analysis II,
MA2005 Ordinary Differential Equation.
Courses in probability will also be advantageous
