The AP09 results also showed good agreement for C N, C M, and C L but also showed less agreement for C A. The ANSYS-CFX results showed good agreement for C N, C M, and C L but less agreement for C A when compared to the experimental results. The results were compared against experimental data from actual wind tunnel tests and data from a semi-empirical method, AP09. The study was conducted for Mach numbers of 0.2, 0.8 and 1.2. DISTRIBUTION CODE This study used the Computational Fluid Dynamics code, ANSYS-CFX to predict the static aerodynamic characteristics of a canard-wing missile configuration with a hemispherical nose, triangular wedge canards and fixed trapezoidal wings.
