21. Snap/Lurch 6 Angularadd four time intervals

The model and its justification
    Snap/Lurch 6 is the angular equivalent of Snap/Lurch 6, which added four time intervals to the simulation. It calculates the speed of the rearward lurch from the bullet, the cloud, and the large fragments, with 3-D motions of the cloud, the large fragments, and the body: It begins by interposing three steps having to do with the times. (1) It first calculates vsnap and uses it to calculate tsnap. (2) Then it calculates ttransit and combines it with tsnap with tdelay to calculate tlurch. (3) Then it uses tlurch and dfrags to calculate vfrags. At this point it returns to the former procedure and (4) solves for vbodyafter and vcloud. To simplify matters a bit, it sets vfrags23 = vfrag1 and fkefrags23 = fkefrag1. These time intervals leave the default solution about the same, however: -1.39 and 386 ft s-1 for lurch and cloud, respectively, versus -1.38 and 378 ft s-1 in Lurch 5 Angular. The sensitivities and effects also remain similar.

    Just as in the linear case, the sensitivities of Lurch 6 Angular are very similar to those of Lurch 5 Angular in spite of the differences in calculation for Lurch 6. The previous variables maintained very similar sensitivities and ranges, with Qcl and mcloud continuing to dominate. Six of the eight new variables related to the timing and the snap had positive sensitivities, that is, they worked to increase the velocity of the lurch (to reduce its rearward velocity). Five of the eight had small sensitivities, with only Rhead, Rbullet, and dsnap having medium sensitivities. The lurch hardly changed, and if anything, increased in rearward speed (from -1.38 ft s-1 to -1.39 ft s-1). This tiny effect is probably because the sensitivities and effects of the new variables were so small. Thus, adding the four time intervals did not change the basic result.

Summary
    The basic solution remained virtually unchanged when the four time intervals were added: The lurch of -1.38 ft s-1 in Lurch 5 Angular increased (in magnitude) only to -1.39 ft s-1 in Snap/Lurch 6 Angular. This important result was probably a consequence of the small sensitivities and effects of the eight new variables.
