摘要
The requirements for the design of a new short-range high-velocity missile are both the drag reduction and the correct information acquisition for the optoelectronic sensors embedded in the hemispherical nose. High angles of attack must be studied to fulfill the maneuverability requirements of present and future missiles. A supersonic missile generates a bow shock around its blunt nose, which causes rather high surface pressure and temperature and, as a result, the development of high drag and damage of embedded sensors. The pressure and the temperature on the hemispherical nose surface can be substantially reduced if an oblique shock is generated by a forward-facing spike. Both the experiments and the computations are carried out to study the flowfield around three-dimensional blunt bodies equipped with forward-facing spikes for a large range of attack angles at a Mach number of 4.5. A blunt body, a classical disk-tip spike, a sphere-tip spike, and a biconical-tip spike are studied. The experiments involve high-pressure shock tunnel investigations using; shock tube facility. The differential interferometry technique is applied to visualize the flowfield around the different, missile spike geometries. The differential interferogram pictures as well as surface pressure measurements are compared with numerical results. Numerical simulations based on steady-state three-dimensional Navier-Stokes computations are performed to predict the drag, the lift, and the pitching moment for the blunt body and for each spike-tipped missile. The computations allow one to bring out the advantages of each spike geometry in comparison to the blunt body.
