Complex Aerodynamics Behavior of High Spin APFSDS Projectile

open access: closedJournal of Applied Mechanics, 2013
The supersonic aerodynamics of a high spin armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot projectile (APFSDS) is numerically and experimentally investigated. Classically, using a 120 mm smooth bore gun, the value of the nondimensional steady spin rate of the inflight APFSDS projectile is about 0.01.

Aerodynamics of a Spinning Sphere

open access: closedThe Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 1928
The full equations of motion for the flow of a viscous fluid have proved too complicated for any general solution to be obtained. It is to be doubted if, in. the near future, the problem of fluid motion will be solved in a general manner, although solutions for a few special cases may be found.

Aerodynamics and Design of Spinning Samara Model

open access: closed, 2021
A particular form of winged seed (samara) dispersal technique adopted by nature uses autorotative (unpowered rotation of the wing generating thrust force against gravity) descent; for e.g. in Maple and Mahagony trees. This technique provides the lowest descent velocities among various seed dispersal techniques found in nature ensuring the safety of the

Aerodynamics of spinning and non-spinning tennis balls

open access: closedJournal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 2004
The aerodynamic properties of a tennis ball are obtained using wind tunnel measurements. In the first phase of this study, the drag coefficient of a variety of new and used non-spinning tennis balls was measured. The measurements were conducted in the Reynolds number range of 85×103 In the second phase of this study, the drag and lift coefficients ...

Validation of a multipoint approach for modeling spin aerodynamics

Journal of Aircraft, 1995
during the spin. The rolling-moment and yawing-moment coefficient variations were relatively small, and thus, the steadyspin assumption is reasonable for these quantities. In contrast is the large amplitude of the pitching moment coefficient trace. The maximum and minimum values of the free-spin results are approximately equal to the rotary balance ...
