 Abstract:

Analysis of flow around the high-speed body with an irregular shape (such as fragments/shrapnels formed after the detonation of high explosive projectiles) was performed using the method of numerical simulations. For supersonic motion regime, pressure and velocity flow fields, as well as the formation of shock waves, around an irregularly shaped body were analyzed. Also, streamlines around an irregularly shaped body moving through the atmosphere were visualized (Ansys Fluent) and analyzed.
