| dc.date | SCORES (SpaceCraft Object-oriented Rocket Engine Simulation) is a web-based rocket engine analysis tool suitable for use in conceptual design. New features and improvements have significantly increased the utility of the program. The most notable improvement is the addition of hydrocarbon combustion through improvements in chemical equilibrium calculations. Other improvements include rocket sizing capability, conical and aerospike nozzle options, SI units, and thrust-to-weight estimation. SCORES supports the spacecraft and launch vehicle design team by providing rocket thrust, specific impulse, and thrust-to-weight. The input parameters required by SCORES are mixture ratio, chamber pressure, throat area, and expansion ratio. SCORES provides a quick-look trade study capability by maintaining the appropriate level of fidelity and computational time. This allows SCORES to be used effectively in a Multidisciplinary Design Optimization environment. This paper describes the current status in the development of SCORES, details recent improvements, and provides comparisons with industry standard codes and historical engine data. | |
