Purpose of the course is to gain knowledge in external ballistics of spin stabilized projectiles with base-bleed and rocket motor. The lectures cover physics of base-burn projectiles, modeling of base-burn effects, calculation of trajectories, and estimation of influence of base-bleed parameters on the dispersion. Numerical examples are run to illustrate the influence of base-bleed system on range and dispersion. It is assumed that attendees of course have basic knowledge in general external ballistics (see course “External Ballistics of Projectiles and Rockets”), mathematics, gas-dynamics and computer skills. The attendees will obtain copy of the Matlab program TwoDoFSim which will be extensively used throughout the course for educational purposes. Besides, one example, showing the influence of base-bleed parameters and the motion of projectile around the center of mass will be run by the professional program ProMoS-6DoF (see ProSTools section).

The course is designed for graduated students, engineers - researchers in the research institutions. It is advanced course, and it is assumed that attendees of course have good knowledge in general projectile aerodynamics (for basic knowledge see course “Classical Aerodynamics of Projectiles and Rockets”) and external ballistics (for basic knowledge see course “External Ballistics of Projectiles and Rockets”)

Duration is two weeks (twelve working days); 54 lectures (one lecture duration 45min) , but other arrangement is possible.
