public final class AeroSphereProperty
extends AeroCrossSectionProperty
implements IPartProperty

This class is a sphere property to use with the aerodynamic part property for the PATRIUS assembly.
This property is meant to be used in a LEO average precision aerodynamic context. See the CNES TTVS book (2002 edition : Volume 3, Module XII, $2.4.1.2 ) for information.

Note that the use of this class implies a constant area which may not be suited for some application such as reentry.

Constructor Detail

AeroSphereProperty

public AeroSphereProperty(double inSphereRadius,
                          double density,
                          Vector3D relativeVelocity)

Constructor of this property. This constructor can be used when the user wants to compute the partial derivatives of the drag force with respect to spacecraft position (the default value of the derivatives is set to zero), for the sphere case. However, users should better use the property AeroCrossSectionProperty which provide the cross section computation of the satellite main's part (could be either a sphere, a cylinder or a parallelepiped). The derivatives are computed using an analytical formula that involves the value of dRho / dh (the derivative of the atmospheric density with respect to altitude), computed by finite differences with altitude variation. Therefore it is possible to compute the derivatives with respect to position when the considered orbit is highly excentric.

Parameters:

inSphereRadius - The sphere radius.

density - density.

relativeVelocity - relativeVelocity.
