CFD Prediction of Longitudinal Aerodynamics for a Spinning Projectile with Fixed Canard

A computational study performed for an artillery projectile using finite volume TVD schemes is described in this paper. First, computed Magnus moment coefficients for the spinning projectile have been compared with the available experimental data of SOCBT at Mach 3 and are found to be generally in good agreement. The results demonstrate that the method can provide an accurate and viable approach for this problem. Then, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling and analysis of the spinning projectile with fixed canard have been conducted to determine the longitudinal aerodynamic coefficients. The analyses provide a detailed understanding of the effects of canard with different circumferential position on longitudinal aerodynamic coefficients at three supersonic speeds and various angles of attack.
