Module geometry 

Geometry-to-aerodynamics: a Barrowman subset for slender model rockets (nose cone + body tube + fin set + optional conical boat-tail), implemented against the OpenRocket technical documentation and its FinSetCalc and SymmetricComponentCalc sources. CP comes from the component moment sum (with the supersonic aft shift); drag is friction + base + nose wave drag + rounded-fin form drag. The fin normal-force slope uses Diederich below Mach 1, the Busemann K1 term above Mach 1.5, and OpenRocket’s Hermite join between them.

Induced drag from angle of attack uses the normal-force tilt model (Cd += Cnα·α²). Fin planforms are trapezoidal (closed form) or half-ellipse (OpenRocket’s 48-strip integration). Not covered (deliberately): forward shoulders or multi-diameter bodies, free-form fins, and fin-body interference drag.

Structs

AeroAnalysis

The curves and reference quantities produced by RocketGeometry::analyze.

BoatTail

The complete slender geometry. A conical boat-tail (diameter-reducing transition) at the very aft end of the body tube.

BodyTube

The cylindrical body tube behind the nose.

EllipticalFins

Identical elliptical fins (half-ellipse planform) at the aft end of the tube. Geometry follows OpenRocket’s EllipticalFinSet: root chord along the body, tip point mid-chord at the span.

MassProperties

Dry-mass breakdown estimated from geometry and component masses by RocketGeometry::mass_properties.

NoseCone

A nose cone with length and base diameter, in metres.

RocketGeometry

A slender rocket: nose cone, body tube, fin set and an optional conical boat-tail.

TrapezoidalFins

Identical trapezoidal fins at the aft end of the tube. leading_sweep_m is the horizontal offset of the tip leading edge from the root leading edge.

Enums

FinSet

The fin-set planform family.

NoseShape

Nose-cone families supported by the subset.

Functions

parse_geometry

Parse the compact geometry spec used by the CLI: nose=shape:length:diameter,tube=length:diameter,fins=count:root:tip:span:sweep:thickness (or efins=count:root:span:thickness for elliptical fins), with an optional boat=length:fore_diameter:aft_diameter conical boat-tail at the aft end. The fin thickness is optional (default 2 mm). Lengths are in metres.
