Theoretical and Numerical Studies of Dynamic Scaling of a Six-Degree-of-Freedom Laser Propulsion Vehicle
Figure 4
Time evolutions of translational and angular velocities during blast wave interaction for 32.5 g, 1 kg, and 10 kg vehicles. The vehicle size, laser energy, and moment of inertia are determined using (10), (21), and (22) for 1 kg and 10 kg vehicles in the fluid-orbit coupling simulation.
