Struct NormalForce 

#[non_exhaustive]
pub struct NormalForce {
    pub coefficient: f64,
    pub slope_per_rad: f64,
    pub moment_m: f64,
    pub moment_slope_m: f64,

}

The normal force of a whole rocket, or of one component, at a flow condition.

Fields (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive structs could have additional fields added in future. Therefore, non-exhaustive structs cannot be constructed in external crates using the traditional Struct { .. } syntax; cannot be matched against without a wildcard ..; and struct update syntax will not work.

coefficient: f64

Normal-force coefficient C_N on the reference area, in the plane of the flow.

slope_per_rad: f64

C_N/α per radian; at α = 0, the slope ∂C_N/∂α.

moment_m: f64

Σ C_N,i X_i, m: the normal force’s moment about the nose tip per unit dynamic pressure and reference area, defined even when the net force is zero.

moment_slope_m: f64

Σ (C_N,i/α) X_i, m per radian: Self::moment_m per radian of angle of attack, and at α = 0 its slope Σ C_Nα,i X_i. It is defined when the slopes cancel, where the center of pressure is not: the loads are then a pure couple.

cp_station_m: Option<f64>

Center of pressure, m aft of the nose tip; None when the slope is zero, or so small against its terms (below 1e-12 of Σ |C_Nα,i|) that the ratio would be noise.

side_coefficient: f64

Side-force coefficient across the plane of the flow, along z_B × the lateral-flow direction. Only fin sets of one or two fins produce it (crate::fins::side_sum).

side_moment_m: f64

Σ C_Y,i X_i, m: the side force’s moment about the nose tip per unit dynamic pressure and reference area.

table: Option<NormalForceLookup>

The override table’s lookup, on the table’s reference area, when the whole rocket’s normal force came from one (AeroModel::with_normal_force_table): whether the Mach number was outside a column’s range, or the angle past the last column’s.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for NormalForce

fn clone(&self) -> NormalForce

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Copy for NormalForce

impl Debug for NormalForce

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for NormalForce

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl PartialEq for NormalForce

fn eq(&self, other: &NormalForce) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for NormalForce

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.
