The scary reality is that bird versus airplane collisions aren’t as rare as you might think. In 2012 over 10,000 aircraft were struck by birds in flight. Bird strikes can risk millions of dollars and numerous lives if the collision were to happen at the wrong place at the wrong time.
To reduce the risk of feathered catastrophe, engineers like Ravi Katukam have conducted a series of bird strike simulations. The goal of these simulations is to ensure that planes keep flying even when the rogue bird is devastated.
In this white paper Katukam will shows:
- Technical challenges modeling solid to flesh simulation
- Federal Aviation Regulations
- Modeling method comparisons (Lagrangian, coupled Eulerian Lagrangian, and smooth Particle Hydrodynamics)
- Validation
- And more
