Conclusion for Rocket Launches and Dynamic Pressure
Discover how to use Python and Matplotlib to graph dynamic pressure during rocket launches. Understand the concept of maximum aerodynamic pressure, apply physics assumptions, and explore how to create meaningful visualizations in aerospace engineering simulations.
We'll cover the following...
Matplotlib is a great library for building data visualization tools. This example is just a small sample of what the library can help you display and accomplish. Matplotlib also allows you to embed and export the charts to various formats, such as pdf, svg, and others. Combined with Scipy and Numpy, Matplotlib is a great tool for displaying data in new and interesting ways. You were able to use Matplotlib and some physics to plot maximum aerodynamic pressure, called Max Q, as a function of time.
In reality, rockets do not have constant acceleration. The acceleration will vary depending on atmospheric conditions, the altitude of the rocket, the engine performance, and more. However, the assumption of constant acceleration allows ...
