  1. 1. Exterior ballistics analysis for rocket propelled KE-penetrator - A conceptual simulation study within fluid mechanics and flight mechanics

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Emil Wegberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Exterior ballistics; fluid mechanics; high-speed aerodynamics; CFD; RANS; conceptual design; Ytterballistik; strömningsmekanik; höghastighetsaerodynamik; CFD; RANS; konceptuell design;

    Abstract : This study has investigated the conceptual feasibility of a rocket propelled kinetic energy penetrator (KEP), designed for the handheld recoilless rifle Carl-Gustaf® 84 mm calibre system, from an exterior ballistics perspective. The methodology is based upon evaluating the aerodynamic properties of different conceptual design proposals through CFD-simulations and then performing trajectory analysis to assess their exterior ballistic performance.

  3. 2. Vertical landing flight envelope definition

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Jack Charles Hooper; [2020]
    Keywords : trajectory optimization; pseudospectral; optimal control; re-entry; high speed aerodynamics; high angle of attack;

    Abstract : This paper will investigate the development of a landing footprint for a re-entry vehicle. Vehicles can re-enter the atmosphere with a range of orientations, velocities and flight path angles. READ MORE

  4. 3. Numerical study of a wind tunnel setup for measuring train slipstream with Detached Eddy Simulation

    University essay from KTH/Fordonsdynamik

    Author : Yogeshwar Dhanabalan; [2013]
    Keywords : Train Aerodynamics; Slipstream; Detached Eddy Simulation;

    Abstract : High speed trains have become an integral part of the transportation systems around the world. With increasing speed, very high velocities are generated in the region around the train known as slipstream. Experimental studies have been conducted over the last few decades to study the effect of these phenomena. READ MORE
