Function Documentation

◆ calculate_copv_pressure_curve()

Dict[str, Any] engine.optimizer.copv_flight_helpers.calculate_copv_pressure_curve	(	np.ndarray	time_array,
		np.ndarray	mdot_O,
		np.ndarray	mdot_F,
		np.ndarray	P_tank_O,
		np.ndarray	P_tank_F,
		PintleEngineConfig	config,
		float	copv_volume_m3,
		float	T0_K = 260.0,
		float	Tp_K = 260.0 )

Calculate COPV pressure curve using polytropic blowdown model.

Uses the same method as the COPV tab with user-specified temperatures (260K).

◆ run_flight_simulation()

Dict[str, Any] engine.optimizer.copv_flight_helpers.run_flight_simulation	(	PintleEngineConfig	config,
		Dict[str, np.ndarray]	pressure_curves,
		float	burn_time )

Run flight simulation on the optimized engine.

Uses the existing setup_flight function from flight_sim.py.

Args:
    config: Engine configuration (will be updated with burn_time)
    pressure_curves: Dict with 'time', 'thrust', 'mdot_O', 'mdot_F' arrays
    burn_time: Actual burn time to use (may be truncated from original)

Returns:
    Dict with flight simulation results
