Aerodynamic Simulation of Air-Launched Missiles from a Complete Helicopter

Abstract

Unsteady numerical analysis was performed to simulate air-launched missiles from a complete helicopter in hover by using an unstructured overset mesh flow solver coupled

A Numerical Method for Blast Shock Wave Analysis of Missile Launch from Aircraft

“…For example, Kidd and Cloke [2] and Okamoto et al [3] used CFD modelling to simulate the blast wave development due to the launch of a missile from a helicopter. Also the studies by Lee et al [4,5] and Fu et al [6] present CFD models to simulate the missile launch from a canister in general or from a helicopter with the focus on the missile movement. Simulations of the exhaust plume from launcher rockets using CFD modelling were performed by Gusman et al [7], Alexeenko et al [8], Ebrahimi et al [9], and Vitkin et al [10].…”
