Thermal and Structural Analysis of Training Round Nose Caps

Abstract

This report describes the results of a brief computational study using the ABRES Shape Change Code, ASCC-79, to predict the effects of aerodynamic heating on an ablating nose cap configuration for the XM797 high velocity training round. Ablation rates and in-depth thermal response are analyzed for three flight trajectories. Recommendations are made for experimental verification of the computational modeling.
