# SIM_splashdown

SIM_splashdown is a simulation of a space craft crew module dropping into a body of water. 

![Crew Module Picture](Images/CM_picture.png)

## Building the Simulation
In the ```SIM_splashdown ``` directory, type **```trick-CP```** to build the simulation executable. When it's complete, you should see:

```
=== Simulation make complete ===
```
Now **cd** into ```models/CrewModuleGraphics/``` and type **mvn package**. This builds the graphics client for the simulation.

## Running the Simulation
In the SIM_splashdown directory:

```
% S_main_*.exe RUN_test/input.py
```
The Sim Control Panel, and a graphics client called "CM Display" should appear.

Click the Start on the Trick Sim Control Panel.

Click and drag the mouse on the display to change the viewing orientation.

# Coordinate Systems

Coordinate systems here are all right-handed. That is, if the right thumb points along the Z-axis, then the fingers move from the X-axis to the Y-axis as you close your hand.

## Body Coordinates
The geometry of the crew module is defined in **body** coordinates.
The origin of this coordinate system is the center of gravity of the vehicle.
Positive Z is toward the top of the vehicle.

## Dynamics Model

### Vehicle State

The vehicle state is defined by the following variables. These are calculated by numerically integrating force, velocity, torque, and body rotation rate over time.

<a id=linear_momentum></a>
#### Linear momentum

The linear momentum of the vehicle is determined by integrating the [total force](#total_force) on the vehicle over time.

![linear_momentum_equation](Images/linear_momentum_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.momentum```** ( double[3] )

<a id=position></a>
#### Position

The position of the vehicle is determined by integrating the [linear velocity](#linear_velocity) of the vehicle over time.

![position_equation](Images/position_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.position```** ( double[3] )

<a id=angular_momentum></a>
#### Angular momentum

The angular momentum of the vehicle is determined by integrating the [total torque](#total_torque) of the vehicle over time.

![angular_momentum_equation](Images/angular_momentum_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.angular_momentum```** ( double[3] )

<a id=body_rotation></a>
#### Body rotation

The body rotation matrix of the vehicle is determined by integrating the [body rotation rate](#body_rotation_rate) matrix of the vehicle over time.

![body_rotation_equation](Images/body_rotation_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.R```** ( double[3][3] )

### Vehicle State Derivatives and Dependencies

<a id=total_force></a>
#### Total Force
The total force acting on the crew module is the sum of the [force of gravity](#force_of_gravity), the [force of buoyancy](#force_of_buoyancy), and the [force of drag](#force_of_drag).  

<a id=Equation-1></a>
![F_total_equation](Images/F_total_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.force_total```** ( double[3] )


<a id=force_of_gravity></a>
#### Force of Gravity
By Newton’s 2nd Law, the force of gravity on the vehicle is the [mass of the vehicle](#vehicle_mass) times the [acceleration of gravity](#acceleration_of_gravity).

<a id=Equation-2></a>
![F_gravity_equation](Images/F_gravity_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.force_gravity```** ( double[3] )

<a id=acceleration_of_gravity></a>
#### Acceleration of Gravity

In this simulation the acceleration is fixed at:

<a id=acceleration_of_gravity_equation></a>
![acceleration_of_gravity_equation](Images/acceleration_of_gravity_equation_12_pt.png)

<a id=vehicle_mass></a>
#### Vehicle Mass

Default value of the vehicle mass is:

![mass_vehicle_equation](Images/mass_vehicle_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.mass_vehicle```** ( double )

<a id=force_of_buoyancy></a>
#### Force of Buoyancy

Buoyancy is a force on an object, that opposes gravity, by a fluid within which it’s immersed. This force is equal to the [mass of the displaced water](#displaced_mass) times the [acceleration of gravity](#acceleration_of_gravity).

<a id=Equation-3></a>
![F_buoyancy_equation](Images/F_buoyancy_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.force_buoyancy```** ( double[3] )


<a id=force_of_drag></a>
#### Drag force

This drag force is not accurate. It's simply opposes the [linear velocity](#linear_velocity), as a means of sapping energy from the system. 

![Force_drag_equation](Images/Force_drag_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.force_drag```** ( double[3] )

<a id=displaced_mass></a>
#### Displaced Mass

The displaced mass of the water is equal to the [density of water](#density_of_water) times its [displaced volume](#displaced_volume).

<a id=Equation-4></a>
![mass_displaced_equation](Images/mass_displaced_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.mass_displaced```** (double)

<a id=density_of_water></a>
#### Density of Water

Default value is the density of sea water:

<a id=Equation-4></a>
![density_of_water_equation](Images/density_of_water_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.density_of_water```** (double)

<a id=total_torque></a>
#### Total Torque

The total torque acting on the crew module is the sum of the [buoyancy torque](#buoyancy_torque), and [drag torque](drag_torque).

![torque_total_equation](Images/torque_total_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.torque_total```** (double[3])

<a id=buoyancy_torque></a>
#### Buoyancy Torque

The [force of buoyancy](force_of_buoyancy) acts on the [center of buoyancy](#center_of_buoyancy), that is: the center of mass of the displaced water. So the torque on the vehicle due to buoyancy is:

<a id=Equation-5></a>
![Equation 5](Images/torque_buoyancy_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.torque_buoyancy```** (double[3])

<a id=drag_torque></a>
#### Drag Torque

We won't even pretend this drag torque is accurate. It's simply opposes the [angular velocity](#angular_velocity), as a means of sapping energy from the system, to settle the rocking of the crew module.  

<a id=Equation-6></a>
![Equation 6](Images/torque_drag_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.torque_drag```** (double[3])

<a id=angular_velocity></a>
#### Angular Velocity

The angular velocity of the vehicle is a function of the [angular momentum](#angular_momentum), the vehicle [inertia tensor](#inertia_tensor) and the [vehicle body rotation](#body_rotation).

<a id=Equation-7></a>
![Equation 7](Images/angular_velocity_equation_12_pt.png)

where:

<a id=Equation-8></a>
![Equation 8](Images/I_world_inverse_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.angular_velocity```** (double[3])

<a id=body_rotation_rate></a>
#### Body Rotation Rate

The body rotation rate is the product of the skew-symetric-matrix form of the [angular velocity](#angular_velocity), and the [body rotation](#body_rotation) matrix.

<a id=Equation-9></a>
![Equation 9](Images/Rdot_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.Rdot```** (double[3][3])


<a id=linear_velocity></a>
#### Linear Velocity

The linear velocity of the vehicle is the [linear momentum](#linear_momentum) of the vehicle divided by its [mass](#vehicle_mass).

<a id=Equation-10></a>
![Equation 10](Images/velocity_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.velocity```** (double[3])

<a id=inertia_tensor></a>
#### Inertia Tensor

Default value is:

![Equation 10](Images/inertia_tensor_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.I_body ```** (double[3][3])

---

The following convenience function:

```crewModule.dyn.init_inertia_tensor(double A, double B, double C);```

sets the diagonal elements as follows:

```
I_body[0][0] = mass_vehicle * (B*B + C*C);
I_body[1][1] = mass_vehicle * (A*A + C*C);
I_body[2][2] = mass_vehicle * (A*A + B*B);
```

All other ```I_body``` elements are set to 0.

<a id=displaced_volume></a>
#### Displaced Volume

The displaced volume is the volume that is 1) within the vehicle and 2) within the body of water.

<a id=Equation-11></a>
![Equation 11](Images/Volume_displaced_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.volume_displaced```** (double)

<a id=center_of_buoyancy></a>
#### Center of Buoyancy

The center of buoyancy is the center of gravity of the displaced volume of water.

<a id=Equation-12></a>
![Equation 12](Images/CB_equation_12_pt.png)

- **```crewModule.dyn.center_of_buoyancy```** (double[3])

<a id=vehicle_shape></a>
## Vehicle Shape

In this simulation, the shape of the crew module is defined by a sphere, a cone, and a plane, as shown in the picture below.

![Equation 12](Images/CM_shape.png)

```bool CrewModuleShape::containsPoint(double (&test_point)[3])``` returns ```true``` if the given point is 1) in the sphere, 2) in the cone, and 3) on the correct side of the plane.

<a id=inside_pseudo_function></a>
The pseudo-function ```inside(double p[3])``` used in the integrals above represents logic that determines whether a point is within the displaced volume of water. A point is within the displaced volume if 1) it is within the crew module volume, that is ```containsPoint``` returns ```true```, and 2) it is below the surface of the water, that is the z component of the point is less than 0.
