Basic Research for Coupled Multidisciplinary Computations
Abstract
A methodology developed for multidisciplinary simulation of the trajectory of a propelled projectile maneuvered by deflecting the canards is presented. An approach to include the effect of the interaction between aerodynamics and structural dynamics is demonstrated. The quasi-unsteady approach, briefly discussed here, has the potential to reduce the turnaround time by a factor of around 5 and thus substantially reduce the cost of simulating the trajectory of a projectile including the interaction between fluid dynamics, rigid-body dynamics and structural dynamics.
