  • Model Rocketry and Flight Simulations
  • Theory and Rocket Equations
  • OpenRocket and Experimental Launch
  • Study 1: Apogee
  • Study 2: Thrust
  • Study 3: Effects of Payload
  • Conclusions

Introduction

slide-3
SLIDE 3
  • Newton’s 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Law

1. Law of inertia 2. Fnet =

𝑒𝑞 𝑒𝑢

3. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

  • Momentum-Impulse Equation:
  • Fdt = dp
  • 4 forces acting on a rocket
  • Drag → Friction
  • Thrust → Change in momentum from engine
  • Lift → Wind (Center of Pressure)
  • Weight → Gravity (Center of Mass)
  • Center of Mass must be above Center of Pressure

Theory

slide-4
SLIDE 4
  • Dynamics of the rocket system and Tsiolkovsky’s rocket

equation*

  • Start: Definition of momentum
  • pt = mv
  • After some time dt
  • pt + dt = (m - dme)(v + dv)+ dme( v +dv - ve )
  • *Assumptions, valid only in deep space, no external

forces

  • Fnet =

𝑒𝑞 𝑒𝑢 = 0

  • Further simplification and division, dme= - dm
  • dv =

−𝑤𝑓 𝑛 dm

  • Finally, integrating…Tsiolkovsky’s Rocket Equation
  • Δv = ve ln ( mo

𝑛 )

Theory

slide-5
SLIDE 5
  • New equation accounting for

gravity and drag

  • Assume gravity/mass/thrust

constants

  • Integrate for velocity as a

function of time

  • Integrate for position as a

function of time of rocket flight

Theory

slide-6
SLIDE 6

Theory

  • Calculations for post-thrust motion, only

gravitation and drag

  • Integrate for time as a function of

velocity

  • Take second integral for function of

position after the thrust force is exhausted

slide-7

Model Construction

  • Used three Estes model rocket designs
  • Viking: unique fin arrangements

Alpha Viking Generic E2X

slide-8
SLIDE 8
  • Flight trajectory simulation
  • Allows for specific rocket design parameters
  • Considers all physics and flight
  • Utilized in ideal conditions – no wind or

turbulence

  • Guideline prior to field testing

OpenRocket

experiment vs. OpenRocket simulation

  • Data collection
  • “Anglers” and trigonometry
  • Apogee

Example Launch — Viking

cubic regression using Mathematica: y(t)=905.613t3 905.613 ft/s3=276.031m/s3 In this case T>>W and D is negligible, so the equation can be simplified to: = 276.031m/s3 payload: .02929 kg b=6(.02929)(276.031)=48.51 N/s T(t)=48.51t 12.68% error
