A Double-Barrel Launcher for Studying the Motion of a Group of Supercavitating Strikers
摘要
Abstract
Ballistic design work has been carried out to assess the appearance and dimensions of the double-barrel launcher with an accelerating-channel length of up to 1 m. Based on the ballistic design, the development, design study, and manufacture of the double-barrel launcher have been performed. An ignition system has been developed, with which it is possible to throw two supercavitating strikers into an air or water environment simultaneously and with a programmable delay. Test experiments on throwing two supercavitating strikers into air and water have been conducted under the conditions of a hydroballistic stand.
