Fluidic Actuation and Control of Munition Aerodynamics
Abstract
The 3-year program focused on fundamental approaches to control of aerodynamic steering forces and moments on a wire-mounted subsonic projectile model by fluidic modification of their apparent aerodynamic shape. This approach exploits transitory interactions of projectile-integrated synthetic jet actuators with the cross flow to induce localized flow attachment and thereby alter the global aerodynamic forces and moments. The actuation effects were assessed using force and moment measurements, PIV, and time-resolved force measurements.
