Development of a Mathematical Model of Intraballistic Processes for a Gun-Start of a Group of Supercavitating Strikers.

A mathematical model of a shot from a smoothbore ballistic installation for a gun start of a group of supercavitating strikers has been developed. To verify the mathematical model, experimental investigations into high-velocity launching of a group of bodies on a hydroballistic testing facility have been conducted. A comprehensive parametric investigation has been conducted to determine conditions for loading the ballistic installation to achieve the required muzzle velocity, ensuring a supercavitating regime of motion for a group of strikers in water.
