Experimental investigation of trajectory of windborne debris with applications to debris impact criteria

Ning Lin, Chris Letchford, John Holmes

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › peer-review

Abstract

The paper describes the extensive wind-tunnel simulations of two-dimensional flight trajectory of 2D (plate-like), 3D (compact-like), and 1D (rod-like) debris in uniform flows. Debris aerodynamics is investigated. A method to approximate horizontal speeds of flying debris at given horizontal displacements is presented. The data can be applied to establish debris impact test criteria.
