Class DragForce

java.lang.Object

org.orekit.forces.AbstractForceModel

org.orekit.forces.drag.DragForce

All Implemented Interfaces:

ForceModel

public class DragForce
extends AbstractForceModel

Atmospheric drag force model. The drag acceleration is computed as follows : γ = (1/2 * ρ * V² * S / Mass) * DragCoefVector With DragCoefVector = {C_x, C_y, C_z} and S given by the user through the interface DragSensitive

Constructor Detail

DragForce

public DragForce(Atmosphere atmosphere,
                 DragSensitive spacecraft)

Simple constructor.

Parameters:

atmosphere - atmospheric model

spacecraft - the object physical and geometrical information

Method Detail

dependsOnPositionOnly

public boolean dependsOnPositionOnly()

Check if force models depends on position only.

Returns:

true if force model depends on position only, false if it depends on velocity, either directly or due to a dependency on attitude

acceleration

public org.hipparchus.geometry.euclidean.threed.Vector3D acceleration(SpacecraftState s,
                                                                      double[] parameters)
                                                               throws OrekitException

Compute acceleration.

Parameters:

s - current state information: date, kinematics, attitude

parameters - values of the force model parameters

Returns:

acceleration in same frame as state

Throws:

OrekitException - if some specific error occurs

acceleration

public <T extends org.hipparchus.RealFieldElement<T>> org.hipparchus.geometry.euclidean.threed.FieldVector3D<T> acceleration(FieldSpacecraftState<T> s,
                                                                                                                             T[] parameters)
                                                                                                                      throws OrekitException

Compute acceleration.

Type Parameters:
