MATHEMATICAL DERIVATION OF DIFFERENT NOSE ANGLES TO REDUCE DRAG FORCE ON ROCKET

Abstract

This article elaborates on the study of the mathematical expressions for the different nose profiles and their dimensions. The chosen nose profiles are Conical, Bi-conic, Parabolic, Elliptical, and Ogive. And order to improve the study of the pressure coefficient, shock wave angle, shock location, and drag characteristics of nose profiles to select which profile is preferable for a rocket under the aerodynamic forces.
