Rifle Firing Simulation

Project Overview :

Conducted CFD simulations for an Australian manufacturing company to analyze bullet velocity distribution during rifle firing.

Key Contributions :

• Implemented overset mesh techniques for moving bullet geometry

• Employed density-based solver for compressible flow analysis

• Developed custom scripting for specialized boundary conditions

• Performed transient simulations of firing dynamics

Outcome :

• Characterized bullet velocity distribution patterns

• Validated simulation methodology against theoretical ballistics

Tools : CRADLE CFD (scFLOW)
