Capabilities for Magnus Prediction in Subsonic and Transonic Flight
نویسنده
چکیده
The Magnus characteristics of three spin-stabilized projectiles were characterized using steady-state RANS and time-accurate RANS/LES computational fluid dynamic simulations. RANS/LES simulations improved the Magnus moment prediction for projectiles with rounded or chamfered bases. No difference was found between the RANS and RANS/LES simulations for the projectile with a sharp-cornered base—either with or without a boattail. The near-body flow field was similar for RANS and RANS/LES simulations; but the RANS/LES simulations resolved the turbulent eddies in the projectile wake. Magnus moment effects were found to be confined to the rear end of the projectile. The effects of projectile base shape on Magnus were characterized, demonstrating that boattail and hemispherical base configurations have the largest effect on Magnus moment.

Critical Drag Investigation for an Axisymmetric Projectile with Choked Base Bleed at High-Subsonic and Transonic Regime Using SST K-? Model
In the following paper, the effects of a choked jet exhausted from the base of a non-lifting body on its total and base drags at sub-sonic and transonic regimes has been numerically investigated. Having surveyed the results of some turbulence models and after comparing with experimental results, an appropriate turbulence model i.e. SST K-?, has been chosen and this model has been used in the su...
متن کاملA Composite Finite Difference Scheme for Subsonic Transonic Flows (RESEARCH NOTE).
This paper presents a simple and computationally-efficient algorithm for solving steady two-dimensional subsonic and transonic compressible flow over an airfoil. This work uses an interactive viscous-inviscid solution by incorporating the viscous effects in a thin shear-layer. Boundary-layer approximation reduces the Navier-Stokes equations to a parabolic set of coupled, non-linear partial diff...

SUMMARY Brief consideration of current approaches to the prediction of unsteady wing loading in mixed subsonic and supersonic flow shows a wide variety of method and a clear need for economy in transonic aerodynamic calculations for flutter clearance in subsonic flight. In support of measurements of steady and oscillatory pressure distributions on a particular wing, an approximate theoretical t...

In the German Aerospace Center, DLR, an internal project has been launched to investigate different UCAV configurations. One aspect, covered by the Institute of Aeroelasticity and the Institute of Aerodynamics and Flow Technology, is the wind tunnel test of a UCAV wing in subsonic and transonic flow. The model shall show measurable static aeroelastic deformations. Main goals of the tests will b...
متن کاملAerodynamics of a highly irregular body at transonic speeds—Analysis of STRATOS flight data
In this paper, we analyze the trajectory and body attitude data of Felix Baumgartner's supersonic free fall through the atmosphere on October 14, 2012. As one of us (UW) was scientific advisor to the Red Bull Stratos team, the analysis is based on true body data (body mass, wetted pressure suit surface area) and actual atmospheric data from weather balloon measurements. We also present a fully ...
