Computational Fluid Dynamic Analysis of Notched Canard Arrangement in Cruise Missiles at Supersonic Flows

This paper tells about the CFD analysis of 2D Canard arrangement in supersonic cruise missiles. High heat dissipation rate causes the Canards to reduce its primary work of providing rotational stability to missile. This paper discusses about the criteria of choosing notched canard model against the present model. The models were designed in GAMBIT and analysed using FLUENT. Various pressure, temperature, velocity vector and XY plots were taken and studied as results. From the results it was clear that the new notched canard arrangement shows less heat dissipation rate against the existing models. This study would be helpful in designing new canard models for missiles esp. for Supersonic cases.
