App Profile: Water Rocket Fun

This program can help students and rocketeers understand the physics of water rockets and how to optimize their water rocket launches to obtain the highest apogees. The interface is designed to be easy to use and understand. But don't be fooled by the program's simple layout, few if any of the other simulators you may find are as accurate. Under the hood this program is pretty sophisticated and thorough. The methodology includes both incompressible and compressible fluid mechanics along with a fair amount of thermodynamics and numerical methods to provide accurate water rocket apogee predictions. Check out the excellent correlation between simulation and sophisticated high speed digital camera results shown (see graphs) and at our web site.

Software Includes:
* Easy input of rocket launch variables
* Rapid analysis of rocket launch
* Generation of performance data plots
* Rocket design aids & experiments
* Simple launcher design blueprints
* Altitude calculator
