Manual for Use of Computer Program SG005 Plume Visibility and Light Attenuation.

Abstract

This manual is intended for use of the Computer Program SG005 which calculates the concentrations of primary and secondary smoke particles in a rocket exhaust as functions of propellant composition and air-propellant dilution ratio. Output includes time and distance separation of visible secondary smoke from the rocket nozzle exit plane and attenuation of light beams passing through the exhaust plume. (Author)
