A Study on the Aerodynamic Characteristics for a Two-Dimensional Trajectory Correction Fuze

Abstract:

This study researched the aerodynamic characteristics of a two-dimensional trajectory correction fuze used for the common artillery ammunition, which increases the targeting accuracy by decreasing the circular error probability. The correction fuze has a pair of fixed canard and a pair of steering canards for roll control and guidance. In this study, computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation is performed to study the aerodynamic characteristics of the trajectory correction fuze. The primary purpose of this performance was to predict the aerodynamic coefficients and flow field over a spin-stabilized projectile with the correction fuze. Calculation covered from-10 degrees to 10 degrees steering canards deflection over speed range from Mach 0.6 to 3. The results showed the variation law in the rotary moment of correction module and the control forces of the steering canards with the Mach varying, providing aerodynamic reference for the research of trajectory correction projectiles in the future.
