Summary

New and improved version of the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division aeroprediction code (AP93) has been developed. The new code contains new technology that allows planar aerodynamics of axisymmetric solid rocket-type weapons to be computed with engineering accurately over the entire Mach number range and for angles of attack to 30 deg. New technology developed and included in the AP93 includes; A new engineering method to compute aeroheating information at a high Mach number; Extension of the second-order shock-expansion theory to include real-gas effects, including several new pressure prediction techniques; An improved body-alone nonlinear normal-force method; New methods for computing nonlinear aerodynamics of wing alone, wing body, and body wing due to angle of attack, and wing body due to control deflection; and a new base-dmg database and improved empirical base-drag estimation technique. ...
