ABSTRACT

Figure 1 shows the solid model and main dimensions of the test projectile. The full scale 155 mm artillery projectile was generated in INVENTOR software and modeled in CFD simulations, in order to determine static aerodynamic coefficients. All dimensions are in calibers and reference diameter is 154.7 mm [4]. The mass and inertia characteristics of the test projectile computed using the INVENTOR software are as follows:

• Mass: m = 43 kg. • Coordinate of position of the center of projec-

tile mass relative to the nose: xCG = 0.438338 m.
