Projected area and drag coefficient of high velocity irregular fragments that rotate or tumble

Projected area and drag coefficient of high velocity irregular fragments that rotate or tumble

3 degrees of freedom (DOF) exterior ballistic computer models are used in fragment studies to calculate individual trajectories of each fragment based on drag coefficient and the projected (presented) area in the direction of velocity of center of mass. The expectation of a randomly distributed proj...
