Some Methods for Extracting Aerodynamic Derivatives from Forced Oscillation Wind Tunnel Tests with Application to Volute Stabilized Models

Abstract

Equations are derived for computing static and dynamic aerodynamic derivatives from forced oscillation wind tunnel tests of volute-stabilized munition models. A linear model is used for the pitching moment equation which considers small pitch angles and small volute spring angles (or small perturbations), with no shift in the center of gravity.
