  6. 15. 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.
