Projectile Aerodynamics

Projectile Aerodynamics is a specialized branch of fluid dynamics that investigates the forces, moments, and flow characteristics influencing the motion of projectiles through gaseous media, distinguished by its focus on the stability, trajectory, and performance of non-lifting bodies in supersonic, transonic, and subsonic flight regimes.
