Measurements in the turbulent boundary layer of a yawed, spinning body of revolution at Mach 3.0 with a laser velocimeter and impact probe

Investigation of the Magnus Effect of a Generic Projectile at Mach 3 Up to 16 Degrees Angle of Attack

“…The Reynolds number, based on the model length, was chosen at 1.09 X 10^, which is higher than in previous investigations [4][5][6][7][8][9], in order to check for the existence of a maximum for the side force coefficient at higher Reynolds numbers. In addition, a projectile configuration was used that had a smaller nose portion than those investigated by Champigny et al [10].…”

“…While the measurements of Platou [5] and Kayser and Sturek [7,8] are limited to angles of attack smaller than 6.3 deg, the range of higher angles of attack was investigated by Luchuk and Sparks [4], Sturek [6], Nietubicz and Opalka [9], and Champigny et al [10].…”

“…Any change in these parameters will lead to a different state of the boundary layer and, hence, affects the Magnus effect. While prior experimental studies, both on free-fiying [1][2][3] and wind tunnel-mounted projectiles [4][5][6][7][8][9][10], provide an extensive database, computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations [3,[11][12][13][14][15] and theoretical models [5,[16][17][18][19][20] aim to predict the Magnus effect.…”
