A program for the simulation and analysis of open atmospheric balloon soundings

Abstract
The equation of motion for a balloon in an atmosphere is generalized but placed in proper context by taking into account some fluid theory results and a few factors not considered in previous works. The design of a computer program becomes necessary to find solutions. A code that allows to perform 2D simulations of open balloons flights is developed. The coupled integrodifferential nature of the problem represented a significant challenge for a satisfactory implementation.

Title of program: Balloon
Catalogue Id: ADRA_v1_0

Nature of problem
A version of the balloon equation of motion in an atmosphere that contemplates features not considered in previous works is presented. A coupled integrodifferential set results in the most general case. Numerical solutions become necessary to describe balloon dynamics but in a few simple cases. This work is intended for previous simulations of soundings, postflight analysis or general study of open balloon dynamics.

摘要：大气中气球运动方程通过考虑一些流体理论成果以及先前研究中未考虑的几个因素，被一般化并置于适当的语境之中。为了找到解决方案，设计计算机程序成为必要之举。一个允许执行开放气球二维飞行的代码被开发出来。问题的耦合积分微分性质对实现提出了重大挑战。程序名称：气球；目录编号：ADRA_v1_0。问题性质：提出了一种大气中气球运动方程的新版本，该版本考虑了先前研究中未曾考虑的特征。在最一般的情况下，耦合积分微分集产生了结果。描述气球动力学需要数值解，但在一些简单情况下除外。本研究旨在用于先前模拟升空、飞行后分析或对开放气球动力学的普遍研究。本程序版本存储于Mendeley数据中CPC存储库，具体为：ADRA_v1_0；气球；10.1016/S0010-4655(02)00695-1。此程序已从贝尔法斯特女王大学（1969-2019年）持有的CPC程序库中导入。
