Probability of collision with leading edge of blade

Usage

prob_collision_dynamic(
  rpm,
  blade_length,
  max_width_nacelle,
  rotor_diam,
  blade_thickness_wide,
  blade_thickness_narrow,
  hh,
  bird_length,
  bird_speed,
  prop_at_height,
  prop_below_height
)

Arguments

rpm: rotor speed (RPM)
blade_length: blade length
max_width_nacelle: "Maximum W and Hub Dia (m)" diam of nosecone == nacelle room width (back view)
rotor_diam: rotor diameter (m)
blade_thickness_wide: the thickness of the blade (side on) at its widest point
blade_thickness_narrow: the thickness of the blade (side on) at its thinnest point
hh: hub height
bird_length: Length of archetype bird (metres)
bird_speed: numeric; Average flight speed (m/sec)
prop_at_height: proportion of flights at rotor swept height
prop_below_height: proportion of flights below rotor swept height

Value

numeric; probability of collision with leading edge of blade. Range from 0 to 1
