This paper presents computations of the dynamic derivatives of three dimensional flight vehicle configurations using CFD. The pitch dynamic derivatives are computed from the pitch sinusoidal motion, while the roll damping is computed based on steady state calculation using a non-inertial frame method. The Basic Finner and the SDM(Standard Dynamic Model) are chosen for the benchmark tests against other numerical and experimental results. For the flow calculations, a 3-D Euler solver that can be run both on the non-inertial frame and on the inertial frame is developed. A dual-time stepping method is applied for the unsteady time accurate simulations. A good agreement of pitch-roll dynamic derivatives with previously published numerical results and the experimental results is observed.

Stereotactic implantation of intracranial lesions, and the development of stereotactic convergent irradiation, radiosurgery, techniques have to obtain the accurate coordinates of the tumor locations and that of critical organ. Computed tomography(CT) provides relatively precise imformations of tumor localization and surround the normal organs for conventional radiotherapy. This CT image use to extend for stereotactic radiosurgery procedures. Since the convergent irradiation technique in linear accelerator requires the target center coincident with gantry isocenter or radosurgery frame, the target coordinates must be described in accurately. We used the BRW stereotactic system for describing the target position in CT images This algorithm provides the coordinate conversions for orthogonal or non-orthogonal CT scan image. In this experiments, the target positions have shown the small discripancy within :to.3mm uncertanty in several known target positions in the phantom through the provided programs and it compared to that of BRW stereotactic systems.
