Abstract

According to the TTCP geometry, change the wrap-around fins to the planar fins. Construct the flow-field then generate the grid. Utilizing the computational fluid dynamics method, the lift, drag and roll moment coefficients are computed in different angles of attack. The roll moment coefficients are computed from the flow field solution and compared with the experimental results. The results show good agreement with the experimental measurements for various flight Mach numbers. The aerodynamic characteristics of these two fins are similar to each other from the numerical solution. If consider the lift, drag and center of pressure coefficients merely, these two kinds of fins can be interchanged.But the roll moment coefficient in Wrap-Around fins and planar fins are different. They need to calculate separately.
