This software tool developed by Team Ceres. This had the ability to solve the system of differential equations describing meteoroid entry and compute the burst altitude, burst energy and horizontal path length from the entry point. This tool can also take these outputs and a location in the UK and determine the predicted extent of airblast damage on the ground and the postcodes and population affected.
The output is in the form of damage zone maps that plot the predicted risk sectors and the population affected by the simulated asteroid entry
To install the module and any pre-requisites for the tool to function
pip install -r requirements.txt
To download the postcode data required for tool simulation
python download_data.py
To run the pytest test suite
python -m pytest armageddon
Tool has different parts
- The solver - that calculates burst altitude, burst energy and horizontal path length from the entry point
- The locator - that inputs entry point and burst radii to caluclate postcodes and populations affected
- The damage radii calculator - caclulated the risk radii for the given postcodes and entry point
- The damage risk calculator - caclulated the risk probabilities for the given postcodes and entry point
- The mappers - this maps all the damage risk on the postcodes, the radii of damage and the trajectory of the asteriod on the map
