Analytical Extension of the MISSILE1 and MISSILE2 Computer Programs.

Abstract

The range of application of the comprehensive set of missile aerodynamic prediction programs known as MISSILE1 and MISSILE2 has been analytically extended to M infinity = 5 and fin AR=5. The extension is based on shock expansion theory applied to fins placed in body flow fields computed by an Euler equation solver. The results are normalized by wing-alone data obtained at NASA/LRC. Details of the method are presented in the report together with sample cases. (Author)
