Fluid and thermodynamic characteristics of compressible recoil
Abstract
Fluid dynamic aspect of recoil mechanisms is studied with simple one dimensional analysis as well as two dimensional numerical analysis. Method and procedure for experimental simulation is given. Full scale and reduced scale simulation is analyzed for its advantages and disadvantages. A new numerical scheme called 'finite differential' method is developed to solve the two dimensional unsteady Navier-Stokes equation. The new method utilizes the local analytical solution of the total problem. The solution of the problem is obtained by assembling the local analytic solution. The method is shown to be capable of solving flows with high Reynolds numbers.
