3 3 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT PROGRAM Purpose and Possiility of the Program Capaility:Calculation of projectile trajectory and firing elements ased on Euler equations of motion for point mass (two degrees of freedom). Method:Numerical integration of Euler differential equations of motion with two degrees of freedom of projectile and integration of differential equation of urning the propellant. Purpose of program is quick calculation of trajectory of unguided projectile including firing elements (firing prolem solution). It can also e used for: the determination of rocket motor thrust characteristics (total impulse, urning time) for the design of artillery rockets, the determination of rocket motor thrust characteristics (total impulse, urning time, optimal ignition time) for the extension of range of classical artillery projectiles and mortar shells, the design of the ase-leed unit for the extension of range of classical artillery projectiles, Motion of projectile is modeled y four differential equations of the first order. Progression of urning area is descried y first order differential equation. Equations are solved numerically y fourth order Runge-Kutta method. Burning area with urning thickness of ase-leed fuel can e entered through specified separate file, or calculated in the program for common geometry. Program is written in Matla. It automatically prints all characteristic functions of the process in time and produces graphs. Short Description Program numerically solves (integrates) four differential equations which define flight of projectile for a given initial conditions dv K =- g sin q (1.1) dt

4 4 do g =- coso (1.2) dt V K dx = VK coso dt (1.3) dh =- VK sin q dt (1.4) x a x = L (1.5) d dt and differential equation of urning the fuel (propagation of urning area in time) dy J r x dt = (1.6) In the aove system of equations independent variale is time t. The five dependent variales are V (or simple V ) projectile velocity, q( = g) path angle angle from horizontal line to the K velocity vector, x range, h height from ground, x x spin rate, L a aerodynamic rolling moment, J x axial moment of inertia, and y urning thickness of fuel. Burning rate r depends on pressure in the chamer p c, which itself depends on projectile ase pressure, and consequently on amient atmospheric pressure. Pressure in chamer is determined y solving nonlinear equation which defines quasi steady mass flow rate through BB unit opening. For the meaning of other quantities see lecture supplement and nomenclature in this manual. Initial conditions are defined at launcher muzzle at initial time which is usually taken to e zero: t = : V = V, q= q, x = x =, h = h =, y =. Terminal condition for process in ase-leed unit is defined y maximal urning thickness: y = y : t = t y. max.max Terminal condition for trajectory is defined y minimum height (impact to ground): h : t = t. For the integration of system of differential equations the fourth order Runge-Kutta solver is used. Limitations Main limitations of the program are: Trajectory is in vertical plane derivation and deviation due to disturances cannot e calculated. Earth is flat and stationary (Coriolis force is not taken into account). e

5 5 Only one propellant with homogeneous characteristics can e considered. Burning law of ase-leed fuel is exponential (no free term). Standard Conditions Standard conditions in this software are defined y: Standard gravity gn ms 2 Air temperature on MSL T 15 C Atmospheric pressure on MSL pa ar Temperature of rocket motor propellant T. 2 C Temperature of ase-leed fuel T. 2 C a pf pn 2. INPUT DATA AND EXECUTION OF THE PROGRAM 2.1 STRUCTURE AND REVIEW OF INPUT DATA Basically input data are supplied through two input files: A. Grain geometry data file FileName.mat (default file name is yavaplp.mat) B. Projectile data file FileName.m (default file name is PMMdata_.m). Both of them are Matla files (generated y Matla). The relations with notation in theory is given in the following tale.

6 6 User can generate that file either y using analytical formulas or y any 3D solid modeler CAD program (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, CATIA...) and transfer to Matla and make grain geometry data file.

PrintToFileID= Results printed to Matla Workspace; PrintToFileID=1 Results printed to file PPMResults.txt; 2.2 MODELING INPUT DATA FOR ARTILLERY ROCKETS Total Impulse and Burning Time Program does not calculate motion of projectile in arrel or on the launcher. The initial velocity should e greater than zero. For artillery rocket user ought to enter muzzle velocity as for the artillery shells. For this reason total impulse of the rocket motor for the remaining of flight should e reduce for the amount consumed to oost rocket to muzzle velocity. Aerodynamic Drag Coefficient Aerodynamic drag coefficient is coded in the program (see section Coding the Aerodynamic

9 9 Coefficients ). For spin stailized projectiles it is suggested to use C D.43 etalon coefficient. For fin stailized projectiles CD. 58 etalon coefficient is more appropriate (see LS Basis of External Ballistics - Point Mass Model ). Based on used chosen drag coefficient, drag form factor is to e determined from firing, or from firing tales. 2.1 EXECUTION OF THE PROGRAMS Execution of the Main program TwoDoFsim_BB.m To run the main program doule click on TwoDoFsim_BB.m. The main program window appears. Or, alternatively run Matla program first and open the file TwoDoFsim_BB.m. In oth cases Matla environment should e opened. Figure Matla environment and main program. Upon the running of the program the following dialog appears for opening/running file with projectile data,

10 1 Figure Dialog for opening file with rocket motor data. And, after that, dialog for opening/running file with grain geometry data appears. User can search any directory and choose any appropriate data. Note that default offered file yavaplp.mat is generated y program Geom_File (Geom_InternalBurningTueWithSlots.m in this example) called in PMMdata_.m file (PMMdata_Rdz_FR_155mm.m in this example).
