TITLE : THE NUMERICAL TRACKING OF THE CANARD TIP VORTICES OF A MISSILE MODEL

BY : Bureau for Mechanical Engineering, CG du Toit Stellenbosch Dept of Mechanical Engineering, TW von Backstrom University of Stellenbosch CH Pool

DATE: 1991

NOTES:

The pictures are as follows:

Missile Model with Canards. In the simulation the tail fins were ignored.
Transverse positions of upper vortices. The simulated results are compared with some experimental data.
Transverse positions of lower vortices. The simulated results are compared with some experimental data.
Vertical positions of all vortices. The simulated results are compared with some experimental data.

DISCUSSION
