The VIBRA-8 Subsonic Aerodynamic Nuclear Gust Vulnerability Code.

Abstract

This report describes certain modifications to the subsonic aerodynamic subroutine in the earlier versions of VIBRA to extend the applicability of the nuclear vulnerability code over broader ranges of Mach number, aspect ratio, and sweep angles. This modified version, designated as VIBRA-8, was developed in conjunction with a study of the nuclear vulnerability of an aeronautical system. A separate classified report has been issued to cover that study. (Author)
