The unsteady development of the tail cavity of a vehicle after it leaves a tube often causes
adverse effects, most notably an impact load on the vehicle when the cavity ruptures. The …

Several experimental and numerical studies on muzzle blast and flow fields have been
performed. However, due to the extremely short duration and the spatiotemporal evolution of …

A deep understanding of muzzle flow fields is essential for optimizing muzzle devices and
projectile design. This flow characterization has been heretofore limited to local and …

Precision-guided projectiles (PGPs) experience severe shock loads during launch
emanating from the propellant gases and the surrounding air. The complex flow …

Precision guided projectiles (PGPs) experience severe shock loads during launch
emanating from the propellant gases inside the barrel and the surrounding air. The complex …

In this research paper, a numerical analysis in Computational Fluid Dynamics uses the
Finite Volume Method to visualize the external flow characteristics over a bullet speeding at …

A projectile moving in the transitional/intermediate ballistic regime encounters many
complex flow phenomena as the flow field contains two blast waves and several flow …

The ballistic wave is a shock wave generated by a solid body moving at supersonic speed in
the atmosphere. It sounds like the crack of a whip for small projectiles and like a detonation …

The ballistics field is known by the presence of several complex phenomena such as
muzzles and flying projectiles flow fields. Consequently, numerical simulations are …

Supersonic accelerators use sabots to suppress bore balloting. However, sabot separation
induces flight deviation in projectiles owing to their interactions with fluids and shock waves …
