Member Function Documentation

bool AerodynamicForceCalculator::estimateNormalForceCoefficient	(	const Missile &	missile,
		const Domain &	machDomain,
		const double &	alpha,
		const double &	phi
	)

Estimate missile normal force coefficient.

Parameters:

	missile	struct containing the missiles configuration
	machDomain	struct containing the domain of the solution
	alpha	the missile's angle of attack [deg]
	phi	the missile's roll angle [deg]

Returns:

true if mach and cd0 vectors are equal size

bool AerodynamicForceCalculator::estimateParasiteDragCoefficient	(	const Missile &	missile,
		const Domain &	machDomain,
		const double &	altitude,
		bool	powered
	)

Estimate missile parasite drag coefficient.

Parameters:

	missile	struct containing the missiles configuration
	machDomain	struct containing the domain of the solution
	altitude	the missile's altitude [m]
	powered	tru if the missile is in a phase of powered flight

Returns:

true if mach and cd0 vectors are equal size
