Computer simulation of the 7.62mm TT pistol external ballistics using two different air resistance laws
Journal Title: Vojnotehnički glasnik - Year 2018, Vol 66, Issue 3
Abstract
A description of a pistol (rifle) cartridge often involves two ballistic coefficients that characterize its ballistic qualities with respect to various air resistance laws (ARLs). How close are the obtained ballistic trajectories with varied ARL specifications and what are the differences between them? How to evaluate ballistics if the ARLs are to be expressed in various mathematical forms? In this paper, the evaluation of external ballistics trajectories is given for two ARLs (the law brought in 1943 and the Siacci law). All the obtained results relate to the TT pistol with 7.62 × 25mm Tokarev cartridge. The paper also presents the answer to the question: how to calculate the ballistic trajectory if the ARL is expressed as a rational function, piecewise function or spline. For the 1943 ARL, a graphical interpretation of the function Cd (i, v) in the form of a surface is shown. This paper shows that, due to the selection of ballistic coefficients, it is possible to obtain sufficiently similar form of ballistic trajectories. A method of graphical comparison of external ballistic parameters is presented as well as the mathematical tools for quantitative analysis of a shape of ballistic curves. The difference between the two trajectories is proposed to be estimated using a relative error in regard to a selected ballistic parameter. Computer simulation considered for the 1943 and Siacci ARLs for the 7.62×25mm Tokarev cartridge indicates that the profiles of the function of instantaneous projectile velocity vs time of flight (TOF) had the greatest non-coincidence in relation to other ballistic parameters (e.g. horizontal range, height of the trajectory, etc.) The obtained maximum of the relative error was 0.8%. Its magnitude localizes at the point of impact.
