Matlab v1.0 Release
Past due by over 7 years
11% complete
v1.0 must do the following as a Matlab script:
- Accept a nozzle profile and predict M, P, and T over the profile for quasi-1D flow
- Determine whether the flow contains normal shocks and the location of such shocks
- Plot these parameters versus the x-axis, including the shock cases.
- Output critical and exit parameters for M, P, T, mdot
- Predict and output thr…
v1.0 must do the following as a Matlab script:
- Accept a nozzle profile and predict M, P, and T over the profile for quasi-1D flow
- Determine whether the flow contains normal shocks and the location of such shocks
- Plot these parameters versus the x-axis, including the shock cases.
- Output critical and exit parameters for M, P, T, mdot
- Predict and output thrust and specific impulse
- Match known validation cases
v1.0 may not, but future versions should:
- Work on multiple platforms
- Have a GUI
- Handle cases other than non-reacting, homogeneous gas propellants without heat addition
- Predict performance 2D by the method of characteristics
- Take performance losses due to geometry or assumptions into account
