Modeling, Analysis & Simulation of High-Speed Munitions
Abstract
The University of Michigan is requesting a cooperative agreement in the amount of $1,236,061.00 ($687,595.00 for the base technical period of 36 months and $548,466.00 for 2 optional 1-year periods) to address fundamental knowledge gaps related to the impact of fluid-thermal-structure interactions (FTSI) on responsiveness and precision of relevant high-speed munitions. This will be accomplished by developing multi-fidelity, multi-physics modeling and computational simulation frameworks to enable robust and trusted operations and decisions for high speed (Mch>3) munitions. In particular, we target systems operating on terminal trajectories with high dynamic loads (10-40 g’s). The data-informed ROM-based FTSI models we have been studying for vehicle simulation can serve as point of departure for a trajectory optimization accounting for FTSI effects. This will enable us to capture more details of the important vehicle states’ evolution during a trajectory.
