Sažetak

The main subject of this paper is application of a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model in determination of the muzzle blast overpressure and its physical manifestations, as well as its validation through measurements of primary parameters. Unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (URANS) with a corresponding turbulence model were applied for numerical simulation of complex gas-dynamic process of propellant gases release from the barrel after firing. The unstructured adaptive mesh for spatial discretization was applied, as suitable model for numerical calculation and physical interpretation of these intensive dynamic processes. The provided experimental results were compared with the results of numerical simulations, which were thus validated, according to adopted minor simplifications.
