Heating calculations #2

Open NathanaelJ opened 3 years ago

NathanaelJ commented 3 years ago

More of a note to self than anything else... Heating calculations seemed to make sense when tested on ASCENSION and APEX (above Mach 1), but results were very strange when tested with ASTRA (like -50 celsius). This could be because ASTRA is never supersonic, and I can't recall if the code I've been using made that assumption.

Need to check if code assumes rocket is supersonic, and resolve whatever is causing invalid calculations before using on ASCENSION. CFD verification may be useful.

Mistakes with initialisation and iterative methods have been identified, but fixing them has not resolved this issue. This problem is still under review

Have identified more issues with calculations, but nothing that has actually fixed the code. Still needs sorting if anyone wants to give it a go....
