The NSWC Aero prediction code has been extended to the roll position of 45 deg (fins in 'x' or cross roll orientation) in addition to the roll position of 0 deg (fins in '+' or plus roll orientation). It has also been extended to compute aerodynamics of nonaxisymmetric bodies based on an equivalent axisymmetric body. In addition, the nonlinear aerodynamic loads have been distributed over the body and lifting surfaces to provide a more useful tool for preliminary structural analysis. Finally, new technology was developed to improve the prediction of axial force at angle of attack (AOA). These new technologies have been integrated into the AP95 and will be transitioned to legitimate users as the AP98. To make the AP98 more user friendly, an upgraded pre- and post-processing, personal computer interface was also developed. Comparisons of the new theory have been made to both experimental data and the AP95. Comparisons of theory and experiment show the AP98 to be at least as good as the AP95 and, in general, maybe slightly better. In general, average accuracy levels of aerodynamics are +/- 10 percent on axial and normal force and +/- 4 percent of body length on center of pressure. For nonaxisymmetric body cases, accuracy can be slightly higher than these numbers, although not enough cases have been considered to make a definitive assessment. While these accuracy levels are encouraging for a semiempirical code, they could be improved upon by use of computational fluid dynamics codes or additional experimental data or both to reduce errors due to limited data bases.

A new version of the aeroprediction code (APC), the AP02, has been developed to address the requirements arising from advanced weapon concepts. The AP02 was formed by adding significant new technology and several productivity improvements to the previous version of the APC, the AP98. New technology added included 6 and 8 fin aerodynamics, improved nonlinear aerodynamics, improved pitch damping predictions, improved power-on base drag estimates, base-bleed effect on base drag estimation, improved axial force of nonaxisymmetric bodies and trailing-edge flap capability. Other improvements and productivity enhancements include an aerodynamic smoother, ballistic and three degree-of-freedom simulation modules as well as refinements for the pre- and post-processor for inputs and outputs of the AP02. Comparison of the predicted aerodynamics of the AP02 to AP98 and experimental data showed the AP02 to be slightly better than the AP98 in most cases that both codes would handle. However, due to the additional new technology incorporated into the AP02, many new options are available in the AP02 that are not available in the AP98. Therefore, the AP02 is more robust and, on average, is slightly more accurate than the AP98 in predicting aerodynamics of weapons.

This report describes interactive, user friendly, pre-processing and post-processing personal computer (P.C.) modules designed to operate with the latest version of the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Aeroprediction Code (AP98). As part of the preprocessing input module, geometry inputs are automated by giving the user many options. By using this new software, a set of aerodynamic coefficients can be obtained on most weapon configurations in less than 15 minutes from time of initial setup to computer outputs, compared to 2-4 hours for the AP98 computer mainframe version, While the computer cost savings are modest (the AP98 executes on a large computer in less than a second), the manpower savings and productivity enhancements can be significant. Various plots of the aerodynamic coefficients are available to the user and are plotted automatically by the post-processing module. Data output is also made available to the user in the form of standard Aeroprediction output files as well as tabulated data. The User's Guide is designed to aid users of the AP98 by correlating AP98 P.C. Interface Data Inputs and the corresponding source code variable names.

New capability has been added to the NSWC aeroprediction code to allow aerodynamics to be predicted for Mach numbers up to 20 for configurations with flares. This new capability includes extending the static aerodynamic predictions for Mach numbers less than 1.2, improving the body alone pitch damping for Mach numbers above 2.0, and developing a new capability for pitch damping of flared configurations at Mach numbers up to 20. This new capability for flared configurations was validated for several different configurations in the Mach number range of 2 to 8.8. In general, pitch damping predictions of the improved capability was within 20 percent of either experimental data or computational fluid dynamics calculations. This accuracy level is believed to be quite adequate for dynamic derivatives in the preliminary design stage. These new additions to the aeroprediction code will be transitioned to users as part of the 2002 version of the code (APO2).

Improved Power On Base Drag Methodology For The Aeroprediction Code written by Frankie Gale Moore and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2001 with Aerodynamics categories.
Improved methods for base pressure prediction under base bleed and rocket motor-on conditions have been developed. The base bleed method makes several refinements to the method developed by Danberg at the Army Research Laboratory in Aberdeen, Maryland. The improved rocket motor-on, base pressure prediction improves upon the method developed at the Army Missile Command in Huntsville, Alabama by Brazzel and some of his colleagues. The major refinement to the base bleed method of Danberg was to estimate the power-off value of base pressure empirically based on an extensive data base, as opposed to using computational fluid dynamics codes to predict this term. The major modifications to the power-on base pressure prediction method of Brazzel was to extend its range of applicability to high values of thrust coefficient, to Mach numbers less than 1.5, and to different afterbody shapes. In comparing the improved methods for power-on base drag prediction to experiment, it was seen that both methods gave reasonable agreement to most experimental data bases. However, more validation is needed, particularly for the combined effects of angle of attack, fins, and power-on conditions.

The NSWC Aeroprediction Code has been extended to angles of attack (AOA) greater than 30 deg. To accomplish this, several data bases were used to approximate the nonlinearities in individual missile component aerodynamics. Theoretical aerodynamic methods are used at small AOA. The new semiempirical model was applied to several configurations and the empirical constants adjusted to eliminate some of the errors associated with wind tunnel measurements of individual missile component loads. The new version of the code (AP95) was then pplied to several other missile configurations and estimates compared to data and other aerodynamic code calculations. Comparisons were made for Mach numbers 0.1 to 10.0 and AOA of 0 to 90 deg (not all data were available on any single configuration). In general, average accuracy levels of ±10 percent could be obrained for axial and normal force coefficeint and ±4 percent of body length for center of pressure, using the AP95. An exception to this was at AOA above 30 deg and at high supersonic Mach numbers, where nonlinearities caused by internal shock interactions were not accounted for. While these accuracy levels are very encouraging for a semiempirical code, improvements in the AP95 methodology could be made by additional missile-component wind-tunnel data at high AOA.

An improved semiempirical method has been developed to estimate the static aerodynamics of configurations that use a trailing edge flap for control. The method is based on deflecting the full aft-located lifting surface an amount that allows the normal force coefficient to be equal to that generated by the deflected flap. A transfer in pitching moments and a modified axial force coefficient is arrived to complete the set of static aerodynamics . The method to give satisfactory results over the practical range that trailing edge flaps are contemplated for use. However, additional wind tunnel data is needed to refine and expand the applicability of the method. This is particularly true for transonic Mach numbers and for supersonic Mach numbers where the angle of attack and control deflection are of the same.
