Machwave

Machwave is a Python library for chemical propulsion simulation. The library makes it easy to model solid or liquid rocket engines, analyse performance and integrate the results into trajectory simulations.

Installation

pip install machwave

Quick Example

from machwave import simulations
from machwave.models.propulsion import motors
from machwave.models.propulsion.propellants.formulations import solid as solid_propellants

knsb_propellant = solid_propellants.KNSB
motor = motors.SolidMotor(
    grain=bates_grain,
    propellant=knsb_propellant,
    thrust_chamber=thrust_chamber,
)

sim = simulations.InternalBallisticsSimulation(motor=motor, params=params)
results = sim.run()
sim.print_results()

Development Setup

If you're contributing to Machwave, you'll need Poetry for dependency management.

git clone https://github.com/felipebogaertsm/machwave.git
cd machwave
poetry install
