Solution of Internal Ballistic Equations for Recoilless Guns

Abstract

Internal ballistic equations for the three cases of recoilless guns e.g., in which shot start is before, at, or after the nozzle start have been numerically solved using Runge Kutta method. A computer program is development that can be used to give ballistic design parameters, effect of loading conditions and Pressure /Time, Pressure/Velocity/Space curves for such type of guns. Pressure/Time/Velocity Spaces curves calculated for guns with this method have also been shown.
