Go to Post The toughest part about that Chairman's Award was the fact that someone was cutting onions in the stands near 558/on the field while it was being read out. At least that was the excuse I'm going to use ;) - esquared [more]

Re: Terminal Velocity of the Fuel Balls

I don't think aerodynamics will be useful for modelling flight paths of fuel; the holes will let air through, and even if the interaction is significant, it wouldn't be practical to model internal air flow.

Sidenote: I know one of the pieces of software in the KoP vouchers does airflow modelling, that might be worth looking into. Also Wolfram Alpha Pro: Amazing.

But...
Here I'll link my projectile motion with air resistance desmos graph. I used it last year with the solid balls. It assumes that friction is proportional to velocity directly (ie not squared) which is technically an incorrect assumption, but it looks pretty.
