A Study on the Prediction of Underwater Projectile Launch Velocity based on the Comparison of Energy-Based Analysis Results and Experimental Results.
This study presents a comparison of the launch velocity of a pneumatically launched underwater projectile, using an energy-based analytical method and experimental results. Instead of the traditional method of predicting projectile velocity based on external forces applied to the projectile and the equations of motion, an energy-based analytical model was proposed to predict the launch velocity. An experimental set was proposed to verify the validity of this prediction, and the experimental results obtained from the set were compared with the results of the energy-based analysis.
