Abstract

The purpose of this research was to model Magnus dynamic effects of a spinning projectile or missile over the required experimental region using statistically designed experiments for wind tunnel tests. In the present work, the wind tunnel tests for the Magnus effect measurements were conducted on a 155-mm spin-stabilized projectile model. The tests utilized techniques involving design of experiments and response surface modeling. The Magnus dynamic effects were investigated for various Mach numbers and angles of attack combinations. The validity of the Magnus measurement techniques was evaluated by comparing with the previous test results on the same configuration. The experimental results show that regression models were found to successfully determine the Magnus effects needed to model aerodynamic characteristics of a spinning projectile over the required experimental design space.
