Three-dimensional interactions between grouped aerial predators (frontal discs of aircraft engines), either linearly arrayed or clustered, and flocks of small birds were studied using interactive computer simulation techniques. Each predator modelled was orders of magnitude larger than an individual prey, but the prey flock was larger than each predator. Expected numbers of individual prey captured from flocks were determined for various predator speeds and trajectories, flock–predator initial distances and angles, and flock sizes, shapes, densities, trajectories, and speeds. Generally, larger predators and clustered predators caught more prey. The simulation techniques employed in this study may also prove useful in studies of predator–prey interactions between schools or swarms of small aquatic prey species and their much larger vertebrate predators, such as mysticete cetaceans.The study also provides a method to study problems associated with turbine aircraft engine damage caused by the ingestion of small flocking birds, as well as net sampling of organisms in open aquatic environments.

Taipei Top Church Auditorium is a hall primarily intended for praise and worship. A three dimensional ray tracing computer simulation was used to provide sound energy distribution on the audience area of the hall, realistic design have been performed. The volume of the hall is 24600m3, which is occupied for 2200 people and equipped the hall with acoustical curtains by modifying its acoustical characteristics. Objective measurements of impulse response are reported, and background noise control and noise isolation are also be considered in the design phase. Reinforcement system is conducted to meet all the activity for the acoustical environments.
