Estimation of Base Drag for a Subsonic Missile Configuration using CFD

Abstract

The purpose of the investigation was to comprehend base drag around a subsonic missile in the jet off situation. To quantify the base drag for various base geometries at various velocities and angles of attack, a CFD simulation has been run. When CFD simulation results are compared to those from other CFD solvers, they exhibit good agreement with respect to flow and base drag under cruising conditions.
