Estimation of the Static Aerodynamic Characteristics of Ordnance Projectiles at Supersonic Speeds

A simplified flow field solution has been programmed in an attempt to improve the accuracy of estimates of the static aerodynamic characteristics of ordnance projectiles. It provides estimates of drag, normal force, static moment, and roll damping moment for pointed bodies of revolution at supersonic speed. The program combines the Van Dyke hybrid theory for potential flow, the Van Driest compressible turbulent boundary layer theory, and the Chapman-Sternberg model for supersonic base pressure. Good agreement is demonstrated between the theoretical and experimental data.
Supersonic/hypersonic Aerodynamics and Heat Transfer for Projectile Design Using Viscous-inviscid Interaction

An aerodynamic design code for axisymmetric projectiles has been developed using a viscous-inviscid interaction scheme. Separate solution procedures for inviscid (Euler) and viscous (boundary layer) flowfields are coupled by an iterative solution procedure. This code yields body surface flow profiles in less than one minute of run time on minicomputers. These surface profiles represent converged solutions to both the inviscid and viscous equations. the capability of computing local reverse flow regions is included. The procedure is formulated for supersonic and hypersonic Mach numbers including both laminar and turbulent flow. In addition, aerodynamic heating equations are used to compute heat transfer coefficient and local Stanton number from flow profiles. Computed surface pressure profiles for Mach numbers 2 thru 6 are compared to wind tunnel measurements on cone-cylinder-flare projectiles. Computed surface heat transfer coefficients are compared to results obtained from wind tunnel measurements on cone-cylinder-flare, flat plate, and blunt-cone models at Mach numbers 5 and 10.
