Abstract:The aerodynamic coefficients and flow surrounding a canard missile design were predicted using viscous computational fluid dynamics simulation. The computations were performed at speeds between 1.5 and 3.0. High-speed flight is possible with canard deflection angles of 0 to 10 degrees, as well as planar and grid tail fins. The estimated aerodynamic coefficients were found to be astonishingly close to those obtained in the wind tunnel once data from the wind tunnel was analysed.
It is possible that the flow vi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
