ENH: Enable only radial burning

Open caioessouza opened this issue 6 months ago • 4 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Rocketpy SolidMotor class only simulates radial and axial simoultaneos burn, but the regression rate on hybrid motor are modeled to be a function of the oxidizer mass flux entering the grain, so it only takes into consideration the radial burn.

Describe the solution you'd like

The idea is to implement the option to simulate only radial burn for the cases of a axially inhibited grain or hybrid motors.
