Contribution
It presents a novel two-way particle-tracking model specifically designed for debris drift analysis of MH370.
Findings
Simulates debris drift based on ocean currents
Provides a tool for narrowing down crash site locations
Excludes wind, waves, and hydrodynamic effects in the model
Abstract
This paper presents a system based on a Two-Way Particle-Tracking Model to analyze possible crash positions of flight MH370. The particle simulator includes a simple flow simulation of the debris based on a Lagrangian approach and a module to extract appropriated ocean current data from netCDF files. The influence of wind, waves, immersion depth and hydrodynamic behavior are not considered in the simulation.
