Analysis on the Stability of Supercavitation Projectile

Abstract

Owing to the existence of supercavition affect the trajectory as well as the stability of motion of projectile. So modeling and controle problems for supercavitation prjectile are complicated and important. The paper analysed the hydrodynamic of supercavitation projectile. And the nonlinear dynamics equatioons motion in body coordinates were obtained. Inorder to obtain the excellent stability performances of projectile, the robust pole assignment method was used to controle the attack angle of head(cavitator). And the attack angle of head effect to the stability of supercavitation projectile was obtained based on stability equtaions. Several structure parameters of the cavitator were designed to compared the contrlole efficiency. Simulation results show that projectile can have good navigation stability through controle the cavitator attack angle. The controle method is of engineering signification.
