Drag coefficient modelling in the context of small launcher optimisation
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 4
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present a fast mathematical model that can be used to quickly asses the drag coefficient for generic launcher configurations. The tool developed based on this mathematical model can be used separately or it can be integrated in a multidisciplinary optimisation algorithm for a preliminary microlauncher design.
