Numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the base drag characteristics of a base bleed projectile with a central propulsive jet by considering the base homing process. Overall fluid dynamic process is modeled by Wavier-Stokes equations for reacting flows with two-equation $k-\omega$ SST turbulence closure. The combustion process is modeled by finite-rate chemistry with a given partially burned exit condition of the BBU (base-bleed unit). Besides the demonstrating the capability of the present CFD solver for the base drag and the interaction of the base flow with a rocket plume, present study gives an insight into the fluid dynamics and the combustion process of the hybrid-propulsion projectile.

We made a new propellant formulation to improve the productivity of Base Bleed Unit(aka BBU) by reducing of the curing time. We made an experiment with new propellant formulation such as binder characteristics and manufacturing process. In addition, we already tested several basic characteristics and the final performance of the new propellant. According to the test report, it was not only satisfied with all requirements in the specification, but it also contributed to improve productivity and reduced 53% of the curing time.

Numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the base drag characteristics of a base bleed projectile with a central propulsive jet by considering the base burning process. Overall fluid dynamic process is modeled by Navier-Stokes equations for reacting flows with two-equation $k-{\omega}$ SST turbulence closure. The combustion process is modeled by finite-rate chemistry with a given partially burned exit condition of the BBU (base-bleed unit). Besides the demonstrating the capability of the present CFD solver for the base drag and the interaction of the base flow with a rocket plume, present study gives an insight into the fluid dynamics and the combustion process of the hybrid-propulsion projectile.

In this paper, determination method for drag force and drag coefficient from results of firing test is described. The drag force and drag coefficient are determined through inverse operation of 2-dimensional projectile equation of motion. Determination method was verified by comparing analytical drag coefficient with data from flight test. Analysis of drag coefficient and drag reduction was performed with the data of flight test using artillery projectiles with base bleed unit.

155mm 탄에 항력감소장치를 부착하여 탄의 비행중에 형성되는 탄저부의 항력(Base drag)을 감소시켜 사거리를 연장한 무기체계가 미국 등을 비롯한 많은 국가에서 실용화되고 있다. 국과연은 이미 155mm 신형 자주포탄에 적용되는 항력감소장치(항력감소제 그레인, Base & Closure, 점화장치)는 개발하여 사거리를 연장(약 35%)한 것으로 보고하고 있다. 본 연구는 추후 실용화가 예상되는 155mm 성능개량형 DPICM탄(미제 M864급)에 적용할 수 있는 항격감소제용 저연소속도 혼합형 추진제 개발을 목표로 하여, 이에 동등한 추진제 특성(기계적성질, 연소특성, 접착력, 발열량 등)을 가지는 추진제, 라이너(Inhibitor)의 조성개발을 실시하였다. 그리고 개발된 혼합형 추진제 조성의 성능(사거리 및 분산도)을 확인하기 위하여 항력감소제용 그레인을 제작, 155mm 성능개량형 DPICM탄에 적용하여 발사시험을 실시하였다.
