Turrent Configurations And Particle Paths, Zihao Lawrence Jian Apr 2013

Turrent Configurations And Particle Paths, Zihao Lawrence Jian

Undergraduate Research Conference

The research originated from the question of how many rows of soldiers or turrets could be placed and allow for all turrets to have a projectile path. We find the relationship between the safe radius for each turret/soldier and the number of rows for which each soldier will have a clear projectile path. As shown, we place turrets in a grid configuration in the Cartesian plane.
