Abstract:

A dual-spin projectile with canards is ballistically corrected by adjusting the orientation of the forebody roll angle, and establishing an accurate rudder control force model is the key to an in-depth study of its ballistic characteristics and ballistic design. Taking the interference between projectile and each canard into account, the Fourier series is used in the non-rolling frame to transform the periodic effect arising from the change in the orientation of longitudinal symmetry plane of forebody with respect to the plane of complex attack angle, and an accurate rudder control force model is established for this type of projectile flying at large attack angles. The relationships among the structural parameters of canards, the amplitude and phase of complex attack angle and the orientation of forebody roll angle are revealed. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical method is used to simulate and analyze the rudder control force at different forebody roll angles and complex attack angles. The results show that the rudder control force has strong non-linearity in magnitude and direction, especially at large attack angles, due to the combined influence of the normal forces of a pair of despinning rudder and steering rudder. The proposed model can accurately describe the rudder non-linear control force of dual-spin projectile with canards and the influence of various factors on it, which provides a theoretical basis for the forebody structure design, ballistic characteristics analysis and ballistic design of the projectile.
