Tools for simulating and modeling rockets.

Currently a dinky litle 1DoF model. Biggest priority now is getting a good framework for managing models, simulations, data down.

Current Structure / Organization

main.rs:

• Input / Control script, thing are defined here but nothing is really happening

simulation_mod.rs

• The Simulation struct stores case information and will also eventually hold simulation output information
• The run() method carries out the simulation: iterating the state, checking for convergence, and printing command line outputs

rocket_mod.rs

• The Rocket struct contains specific information about the rocket.
• Current just mass, CD, refference area

state_mod.rs

• Contains the State structure which manages the state space of the physical system (height, velocity, ...etc).
• It is where the state derivatives are defined and the state space is updated at the end of numerical iterations.

math_mod.rs

• Module file for mathmatical methods, currently mostly related to ODE, ordinary, Differential, Equation solvers.
• These methods are what use the state derivatives to define have the state changes from one iteration to the next.
• The Euler method is the most familiar and most basic. The RK3 TVD method is also included as an example of other ways this step can be done.

physics_mod.rs

• Module file for physics related properties and equations. This will likely be rearranged in the future into different categories.
• Currently it defines density, dravity, and a function for calculating aerodynamic drag.
