Trajectory simulation of Boomerang by modelling non-linear equations of motion

Predicting the trajectory of boomerang is a complex task due to the complicated aerodynamics involved in the motion. In this project, we aim to compute the trajectory given a set of initial conditions at the time of launch. From the above analysis we should be able to decide how to throw the boomerang to reach a particular point in space under a specified time constraint.

Boomerang Boomerang Launcher

Usage

git clone [email protected]:meenakshiravisankar/design-of-boomerang.git
cd design-of-boomerang
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
cd simulation
python3 newmotion.py

The above script saves trajectory and relevant parameters as csv files
