Supersonic Wind Tunnel Measurements of Static and Magnus Aerodynamic Coefficients for Projectile Shapes with Tangent and Secant Ogive Noses by Charles John Nietubicz Pdf
Wind tunnel tests have been conducted for a series of projectile configurations. The shapes tested include a three caliber secant ogive nose and three caliber tangent ogive nose configuration. The overall model length was fixed at 6 calibers for all configurations tested. Static and Magnus aerodynamic coefficient data were obtained at Mach numbers 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 for angles of attack up to 10.0 deg. The data are presented in graphical form along with tabulations of the summary data. The tangent ogive nose produced a slight increase in the Magnus moment coefficient when compared to similar secant ogive configurations. The boattail configuration, when compared to the cylinder shapes, was found to increase the Magnus moment; however, this effect was shown to decrease with increasing Mach number.
