Book Description
Several theoretical and empirical methods are comgined into a single computer program to predict lift, drag, and center of pressure on bodies of revolution at subsonic, transonic, and supersonic Mach numbers. The body geometries can be quite general in that pointed, spherically blunt, or truncated noses are allowed as well as discontinuities in nose shape. Particular emphasis is placed on methods which yield accuracies of ninety percent or better for most configurations but yet are computationally fast. theoretical and experimental results are presented for several projectiles and a computer program listing is included an an appendix.

Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
Several theoretical and empirical procedures are combined into a single computer program to predict lift, drag, and center of pressure on quite general wing-body geometries. The method is applicable for Mach number zero to three and angle-of-attack zero to about fifteen degrees. Computed results for several configurations compare well with experimental and other analytical results. It costs about five dollars per Mach number to compute the static aerodynamics of a typical wing-body shape on the CDC 6700 computer.

The 2002 Version of the Aeroprediction Code
Author: Frankie Gale Moore
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Aerodynamics
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
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.

State-of-the-art Engineering Aeroprediction Methods with Emphasis on New Semiempirical Techniques for Predicting Nonlinear Aerodynamics on Complete Missile Configurations
Author: Frankie Gale Moore
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Aerodynamics
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
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. Aeroprediction codes, Nonlinear semiempirical methods, State-of-the-Art (SOTA) semiempirical aeroprediction codes, Static aerodynamic calculations.

The Science of Small Arms Ballistics
Author: Alvah Buckmore, Jr.
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 135137737X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
The science of small arms ballistics is seriously underdeveloped and underappreciated. This unique and different book is a comprehensive study that fills a legitimate need for a work that covers the engineering and theory of small arms ballistics. The author shares his extensive research on working out the science of small arm ballistics mathematically and explains his theories, such as the field-effect and the field-effect over trajectory and time, along with new theories on interior, exterior, and terminal ballistics. Each equation describes a mathematical relationship, such as transfer of energy, and has an engineering application to help solve a design problem. Some equations, such as the calculation of bullet length with a given muzzle velocity and rate of twist, represent manipulations of those equations. Some other equations represent a set of mathematical instructions to resolve a technical problem, such as the computation of trajectory or depth of penetration of living tissue in real-time.
