Download or read book Approximate Methods for Weapon Aerodynamics written by Frankie Gale Moore and published by AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics). This book was released on 2000 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moore brings 30 years of experience in weapons development to help bridge the gap between the academic textbook and practical application. The book reviews all approaches to calculate aerodynamics, allowing engineers to see the pros and cons of each approach, setting the stage for a semiempirical approach. It contains many approximate aerodynamic methods, bringing together in a single text both linearized and nonlinear aerodynamic methods. Practicing engineers will value the books emphasis on understanding the physics involved, understanding the assumptions made to get to the approximate approaches, and showing final equations used in the solution process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new version of the aeroprediction code (APC), the AP02, has been developed to address the requirements arising from advanced weapon concepts. The AP02 was formed by adding significant new technology and several productivity improvements to the previous version of the APC, the AP98. New technology added included 6 and 8 fin aerodynamics, improved nonlinear aerodynamics, improved pitch damping predictions, improved power-on base drag estimates, base-bleed effect on base drag estimation, improved axial force of nonaxisymmetric bodies and trailing-edge flap capability. Other improvements and productivity enhancements include an aerodynamic smoother, ballistic and three degree-of-freedom simulation modules as well as refinements for the pre- and post-processor for inputs and outputs of the AP02. Comparison of the predicted aerodynamics of the AP02 to AP98 and experimental data showed the AP02 to be slightly better than the AP98 in most cases that both codes would handle. However, due to the additional new technology incorporated into the AP02, many new options are available in the AP02 that are not available in the AP98. Therefore, the AP02 is more robust and, on average, is slightly more accurate than the AP98 in predicting aerodynamics of weapons.
Download or read book State of the art Engineering Aeroprediction Methods with Emphasis on New Semiempirical Techniques for Predicting Nonlinear Aerodynamics on Complete Missile Configurations written by Frankie Gale Moore and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses the pros and cons of numerical, semiempirical and empirical aeroprediction codes and lists many state-of-the-art codes in use today. It then summarizes many of the more popular approximate analytical methods used in State-of-the-Art (SOTA) semiempirical aeroprediction codes. It also summarizes some recent new nonlinear semiempirical methods that allow more accurate calculation of static aerodynamics on complete missile configurations to higher angles of attack. Results of static aerodynamic calculations on complete missile configurations compared to wind tunnel data are shown for several configurations at various flight conditions. Calculations show the new nonlinear methods being far superior to some of the former linear technology when used at angles of attack greater than about 15 degrees.

Download or read book Airbreathing Hypersonic Propulsion written by Claudio Bruno and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-27 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book details science of hypersonics especially focusing on propulsion aspects such as supersonic combustion ramjets and their applications, and also includes lift and drag in hypersonic flight and their mathematical and physical explanation. It provides charts and data from hypersonic testing and measurements from actual vehicles and engines built in the past. Criteria to dimension hypersonic powered and unpowered vehicles (gliders) based on fundamental fluid dynamics and backed by flight testing; criteria to preliminary sizing vehicles and preliminary dimensioning of supersonic combustors are introduced. The book will serve better theoretical understanding of drag, lift and how to apply them to the design of hypersonic vehicles, as well as data to size vehicles and supersonic combustion ramjet (SCRJ) systems. This book will be a useful reference for researchers and designers in hypersonic vehicles but also second or third-year graduate students.

Download or read book A Simplified Method for Predicting Aerodynamics of Multi Fin Weapons written by Frank G. Moore and published by . This book was released on 1999-03-01 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new semiempirical method was developed to compute aerodynamics of multi-fin missile configurations using cruciform missile aerodynamics as a baseline. The method was developed using full Euler Computational Fluid Dynamics codes to compare computations with wind tunnel data bases for cruciform missiles as a function of Mach number, angle of attack, and aspect ratio. The Euler codes were then used for the same free stream conditions and missile configurations except the number of fins were increased from four to six and eight respectively. A table of coefficients was then formed for the aerodynamics of six- and eight-fin configurations compared to that of four-fin cases for use in the aeroprediction code or other semiempirical codes. It was concluded that this approach worked well except for subsonic Mach numbers at moderate to large angles of attack, where the Euler codes failed to predict the leeward plane flow field adequately. It is believed that full Navier-Stokes solutions could be used to improve upon this semiempirical model. Engineering judgement, in conjunction with low angle-of-attack Euler solutions were used in the regions where Euler solutions were suspect. In comparing the new semiempirical method to a limited amount of wind tunnel data on several configurations, it was concluded that the model worked well at all the conditions where data was available. However, additional wind tunnel data at higher angles of attack on six- and eight-fin configurations is needed before the method can be truly validated.

This book was released on 1955 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: It is demonstrated with the aid of similitude arguments that a model fired from a hypervelocity gun upstream through a special supersonic nozzle should undergo motion and experience aerodynamic heating and resulting thermal stresses like those encountered by a long-range ballistic missile entering the earth's atmosphere. This combination of hypervelocity gun and supersonic nozzle is therefore termed an "Atmospheric Entry Simulator."
