Input Parameters Index


The input parameters for the water rocket computer model are divided into five groups: Rocket; Launch Tube, Parachute; Initial; and, Environmental. In each case, you can run the model just by pressing Return, no matter which value you have edited.

Click to go to Rocket parameters page   The Rocket variables describe the physical attributes of the rocket and can be measured directly or guessed. Help is always at hand. Launch tube and parachute options are selected from this frame.
Click to go to Launch Tube parameters page Launch tube and parachute frames allows you to define parameters regarding the physical dimensions of these.
Click to go to Parachute parameters page
Click to go to Initial parameters page The initial frame refers to the initial state of the rocket such as height, velocity and so on.
Click to go to Environmental parameters page The environmental frame allows you to specify the values of parameters that normally would not change but if you are experimenting with different gasses and so on, allows you to do so here.
