Abstract
In recent years, requirement to increase projectile performance, leads to a great interest in high angle of attack Aerodynamics. Projectile Maneuverability is a concept which is defined by having the capability to perform at high angles of attack while maintaining attached flow over the tail, rather than a capability of performing a mission in minimum possible duration. Interaction between body, wing and tail vortices can delay vortex breakdown over the wing and as a result may enhance projectile maneuverability. Studies show that wing aspect ratio and tail location have a remarkable influence on the vortices interaction and thus projectile maneuverability. In the present study, a series of...
