If you’re interested in complex simulation, here’s a fascinating paper from the 2008 Interservice/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference (I/ITSEC).
It’s about simulating the clouds of sand stirred up by helicopters.
Military helicopter pilots need to practice landing in these ‘brownout’ clouds.
The paper shows how they accurately simulate the physics of the brownout clouds.
Here’s the video presentation.
