Volute Stabilization of Cylindrical Submunitions

Abstract

The report is the first of a two-year effort for determining the dynamic and static aerodynamic stability derivatives for volute stabilized cylindrical forebodies. The complete analytical treatment of both rigid and flexible models is dealt with and these results compared to data obtained from the Eglin low speed wind tunnel. The theory presents several methods that give the designer necessary techniques for estimating pitching moment slope coefficient and damping coefficient for a variety of different volute shapes and cylindrical forebodies.
