This study explores the comparison of intricate flow dynamics involved when a bullet, traveling at the Mach number equal to 2, is fired near both a moving object or wall and a stationary wall, particularly in urban warfare scenarios. The proximity to the wall introduces an asymmetry in the pressure distribution across the bullet’s body, affecting its flow physics in diverse ways. The present analysis employs Computational Fluid Dynamics to scrutinize the flow field around a 7.82-mm bullet from an AK-47 rifle moving at supersonic speeds near the ground. Computational simulations explore phenomena at various heights from a nearby stationary or moving wall, ranging from the region of nearest influence to a ground distance five times the bullet’s diameter. The study encompasses height-to-diameter ratios <i>h</i>/<i>D</i> from 0.5 to 5, shedding light on the overall flow field, the pressure coefficient distributions, and the lift, drag, and moment coefficients. Additionally, the flow field in the wake region is examined. The results highlight the generation of a detached bow shock wave at the bullet’s tip, significantly influencing the drag coefficient experienced by the projectile. This study contrasts the effects of a stationary wall at varying proximities to the ground with those of a moving wall at equivalent distances. The comparison highlights change in flow characteristics and various parameters, providing valuable insights into high-speed projectiles in proximity to stationary walls and moving walls simultaneously (<i>h/D</i>) at a Mach number 2 during urban warfare scenarios. Furthermore, a study on the effect of porous wall proximity to the bullet has been conducted, and the shock absorption reduces the momentum. Understanding these phenomena is crucial for optimizing the bullet design and enhancing the effectiveness of missile ballistics in real-world applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":560,"journal":{"name":"Fluid Dynamics","volume":"60 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144934606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two air tabs have been considered in two configurations, namely, 90° and 45°, with respect to the primary jet centerline. The air tab Mach numbers, ranging from 1.1 to 1.4 in an interval of 0.1, have been considered. The jet decay along the primary jet centerline (<i>X</i>), along the lateral (<i>Y</i>), and vertical (<i>Z</i>) directions have been acquired. The jet half-width also has been calculated to assess the mixing/spreading enhancement induced by air tabs along the lateral and vertical directions. The percentage reduction in potential core achieved by 90° air tabs is higher than that of the 45° air tabs at all the Mach numbers studied. The 90° air tabs contract the primary jet along the vertical direction and expand it along the lateral direction. This implies a better jet mixing enhancement in the vertical direction and improves spreading along the lateral direction. On the other hand, the 45° air tabs result in rapid jet decay along both directions, in the far-field locations. The present study reveals that the 90° air tabs are best suited for applications that require better jet mixing, while the 45° air tabs are suitable for moderate jet mixing with the minimum total pressure loss.</p>","PeriodicalId":560,"journal":{"name":"Fluid Dynamics","volume":"60 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144934713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By premixing approximately 20% acetone vapor in the cooling gas and employing the acetone planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) technology, flow of the seeping gas film within the boundary layer was visualized. A correlation between the relative intensity of PLIF image grayscale and the gas film mixing rate is established. Experimental results showed that the seeping gas film layer remains initially laminar in the Mach 3 laminar boundary layer; with the lower injection rate, the film layer develops slowly and maintains a longer laminar state. As the injection rate increases, the film layer thickens significantly along streamwise direction on the porous wall. After reaching a certain thickness, instability develops, leading to intensified mixing with the incoming boundary layer downstream and the formation of large-scale mixing structures. The position of instability moves upstream with increase in the injection rates, indicating that the higher film injection rates tend to induce boundary layer instability and premature transition. When the injection rate <i>F</i> < 0.2%, the diffusion rate of the seeping gas film into the outer boundary layer is low, and the film maintains a high concentration at the bottom of the boundary layer. With the higher injection rates, the mixing ratio increases and diffuses outward, with a slight decrease in the normal concentration gradient of the film along the wall. For a given injection rate, the diffusion range of the seeping gas film continuously increases but does not exceed 5 mm in thickness. The study shows that the acetone PLIF technology can effectively achieve fine visualization and quantitative analysis of the mixing flow structures of seeping gases within supersonic boundary layers.</p>","PeriodicalId":560,"journal":{"name":"Fluid Dynamics","volume":"60 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145171476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
