    Re-entry Projectile Analysis Program

    Thank you for the all the suggestions! I have iterated hand values, unsuccessfully. I'm a new programmer to c++ so thank you for the input. The Heat LOAD is wrong, as it was just changed to: heatLoad += heatFlux*time; Since I am after a graph of heatFlux as it progresses through time. The...

    Re-entry Projectile Analysis Program

    Hi all: I'm writing a program based on simple re-entry physics and can't quite get the algorithm to match the theoretical results. A little background: The equations I'm comparing this to are derivations from the equations of motion and the Sutton-Graves equation for peak heat flux at the...
