1. Launcher modeling
The launcher is considered as an undeformable solid of variable mass subjected to internal and external pressure forces. This section presents force models, equations of motion and staging design.
1.1 Force models
Rocket propulsion uses the reaction principle. Propellants are mixed and burned in the combustion chamber. Under the effect of pressure, the gases are expelled towards the nozzle. The convergent-divergent nozzle accelerates the gases to transonic velocity...
