A Ready Reckoner of CFD for Wrap-around Fins
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2019, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper aims to review computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of wraparound fins (WAF). An effort in the search of a benchmark computational fluid dynamics model for future studies has been made in this paper. Iterative studies have been carried out in the past to study the cause and effect of the anomalies in the aerodynamics of WAF missiles. The simulations that have been carried out consist of different geometries and different conditions, each providing us a new set of data, results and complexities. The results of the computations, their setups and the nuances of the simulations have been presented in this paper. This paper aids in validation of new CFD simulations with the previous CFD studies and their Experimental counterparts. Benchmarking of geometries, domain setup, grid generation, etc. will help to obtain a higher quality of the WAF aerodynamics visualization in the future.
