Specifying the Initial Conditions to Simulate the Flight of Artillery Shells

Abstract

The results of field tests of 120 mm mortar have been presented in this paper. Tests were conducted with using the mortar projectile type OF-483A. The main task of investigations was experimental determination of muzzle velocity and throwing angle, which are initial conditions for numerical simulation of the mortar projectile flight. Muzzle velocity and throwing angle were determined on the basis of accomplished results of motion the projectile as well as the mortar. The high-speed camera Phantom v12 was used during the field tests. The projectile velocity and the movement of the mortar barrel were calculated by means of TEMA Motion program.
