The transient shock dynamics and drag characteristics of a projectile flying through a pipe
3.55 times larger than its diameter at transonic speed are analyzed by means of time-of-flight …

Isolated rotating tail rudder technology provides a low-cost and miniaturized solution for the
correction and guidance of a man-portable rocket. The results of three turbulence models …

An analysis has been performed to investigate the ballistic performance of the 155mm K307
extended range projectile provided with base bleed unit. Different tools were used to …

This paper presents a new parametric optimization approach based on a modified particle
swarm optimization (PSO) to design a class of impulsive‐correction projectiles with discrete …

A understanding of the Magnus Moment is critical to the design and performance of any spin-
stabilized projectile. As armament development matured, researchers discovered the …

A six-degree of freedom simulation model is used to investigate a bullet turning at the
trajectory apex, particularly when fired about vertically. The bullet model includes an …

Slight deformation of head influences the aerodynamic characteristics of head, after-body,
and tail fins of spinning vehicle. The influence of head deformation was analyzed by the …

A numerical study is carried out to investigate a 7.62-mm bullet turning at the trajectory apex,
particularly when fired vertically. The bullet model includes an aerodynamic model, which …

A numerical study is carried out to investigate a 7.62 mm upwards fired bullet flight at the
trajectory apex and falling after that. The bullet model includes an aerodynamic model which …

Proof-of-concept experiments and computational simulations were conducted to investigate
the feasibility of an active flow control concept, called wake-fin tailoring (WaFT), to improve …
