Abstract

Abstract

Based on the coupled Euler-Lagrangian (CEL) method, a fluid-solid coupling model of gunpowder gas-barrel/cannonball-air is established. Numerical simulations are carried out on the launching process of large-caliber artillery shells in low altitude (altitude 0 m), medium altitude (altitude 1000 m), sub-high altitude (altitude 3000 m) and high altitude (altitude 5000 m) environments, and the comparative studies are conducted on the influence mechanism of altitudes on the dynamic evolution characteristics of muzzle shock waves. The simulation results show that the dynamic evolution process of the muzzle shock wave has significant direction dependence. The peak pressure of the muzzle shock wave will decrease as the altitude increases (namely the ambient pressure decreases), and the decrease of peak pressure is approximately linear to the change of ambient pressure . Increasing altitude will reduce the pressure peak of the muzzle shock wave for the same position (same distance and direction). The lateral muzzle shock wave, formed at the muzzle brake, dominates the pressure peak in the typical operating zone of the artillery operators (3–5 m behind the muzzle). The pressure peak value and effective action time at different altitudes can cause damage to the hearing organs, and induce the threat to the non-hearing organs. Therefore, the protection capabilities of artillery operators’ equipment is urgently needed to be improved, providing the effective protection for the important organs, such as ears, eyes, lungs and brains.
