Abstract

A program that predicts trajectories of projectiles influenced by the interference flow field of helicopters is developed. The interference flow field are computed using a compressible inviscid solver in conjunction with an actuator disc model. The trajectories are predicted using 6-DOF (Degree of Freedom) equations as well as an alternative form of modified point mass equations of motion. The method for the interference flow field prediction method are validated with ROBIN(ROtor Body INteraction) model. A Sierra international bullet and a 105mm projectile are used to validate the trajectory method. Trajectories of a Sierra International bullet and a HYDRA 70 rocket firing from a helicopter are predicted.

본 연구에서는 헬리콥터의 간섭유동장을 고려한 발사체의 궤적예측 프로그램을 개발하였다. 헬리콥터의 간섭유동장 해석에는 엑츄에이터 디스크 모델이 적용된 압축성 비점성 해석자를 이용하였다. 발사체의 궤적 해석에는 6자유도 운동방정식과 대안적 형태의 수정된 질점 운동방정식을 사용하였다. 헬리콥터 주위 유동 해석은 ROBIN(ROtor Body INteraction) 모델을 이용하여 검증하였다. Sierra International 탄과 105mm 포탄의 궤적을 이용해 운동 해석 모듈을 검증하였다. 헬리콥터에서 발사된 발사체의 궤적 예측에는 Sierra International 탄과 HYDRA 70 로켓을 이용하였다.
