Description
Bullet (HPBT) movement CFD Simulation by Dynamic Mesh, ANSYS Fluent Training
Description
The hollow point boat tail bullet is primarily a rifle used for hunting big game at long range. In ANSYS Fluent Software, there are different ways to model moving objects. The dynamic mesh is a model in which the elements of the domain reform perish and get generated over time. This model is more tangible than stationary models in which the objects are fixed, and the flow moves.
In this project, a 2D HPBT ammo in a rectangular domain is designed while the bullet’s velocity is 2850 ft/s. The Dynamic Mesh model simulates the movement of the bullet in which the elements are meshing every time step. The compressibility of the air over the bullet is modeled using the Density-Based option which uses ideal gas material to define the air properties.
There is a bullet with a length of 21mm and a height of 7.92mm in positive X and Y directions. Design Modeler software is used to create the geometry of the solution. ANSYS Meshing software is used for generating meshes, and the elements are all triangles (unstructured) due to the ability of this model to remesh triangle elements. Plus, The number of elements is 13,040.
This CFD project is the 11th episode of the ANSYS Fluent General Training Course.
Methodology: HPBT Bullet (Dynamic Mesh)
The simulation is Transient (unsteady) in order to capture the behavior of fluid over time. The Density-based solver type is used due to the compressibility of the working flow. The speed of the bullet is 2850ft/sec which is exactly equal to the Mach number of 2.531.
That’s a good reason for us to select the ideal gas option for the density of the air to model its compressibility. The gravitational acceleration effects are ignored. Furthermore, The Dynamic Mesh module is employed.
Conclusion
At the end of the solution process, two-dimensional contours of pressure, temperature, and velocity are obtained. Also, the elements are visible at every five time-steps, deforming at the start of each time step.
unlike other models available in ANSYS Fluent software, the bullet is moving, and the air is stationary. The motion of the air pressure and velocity behind the bullet which is formed due to the shock wave, as a result of breaking the sound barrier is considerable. Related animation to the bullet’s movement with the change of velocity in the domain is exhibited.

Luciano Larkin –
The description of how the air’s compressibility is modeled is interesting. Did the simulation take into account variable air densities at different altitudes or temperatures, or was it assumed to be constant?
MR CFD Support –
In this particular simulation, the air’s compressibility is modeled using the ideal gas law which accommodates the changes in air density with pressure, however, the simulation seems to maintain constant temperature conditions, suggesting that the effects of variable temperature or altitude on air density were not included in this model.

Madaline Greenfelder –
I’m curious how the dynamic mesh method manages to accurately track the movement of the bullet through the air. Could you elaborate on how the adaptation of the mesh works during high-speed projectile movement?
MR CFD Support –
The dynamic mesh method in ANSYS Fluent utilizes a combination of mesh smoothing and remeshing to accommodate the high-speed movement of the bullet through the air. Mesh smoothing adjusts the position of nodes in the mesh to maintain element quality without changing the connectivity, while remeshing introduces new nodes and alters the topology of the mesh to prevent excessive distortion. Such techniques ensure accurate capturing of the fluid-structure interactions and shock waves generated as the bullet moves at supersonic speeds, breaking the sound barrier.

Willow Marquardt –
The description mentions the bullet moves at a velocity of 2850 ft/s. How does this specific velocity influence the shockwave formation in the simulation?
MR CFD Support –
The specified velocity of 2850 ft/s corresponds to a Mach number of approximately 2.531. At speeds greater than the speed of sound, the bullet is moving in the supersonic regime, which leads to the formation of shock waves. The shockwave is a sudden change in pressure, temperature, and density in the air surrounding the bullet, and it’s an important phenomenon observed in the simulation when dealing with high-speed projectiles like the HPBT bullet you mentioned.
Chance Jacobs –
I appreciate how the simulation captures bullet dynamic motion. How does the system ensure realistic dynamics in terms of the bullet’s shockwave and supersonic behavior?
MR CFD Support –
Thank you for acknowledging our work. The system ensures realistic bullet dynamics and supersonic behavior by using the Density-Based solver to account for air compressibility and employing the Dynamic Mesh model to adapt the mesh with the bullet’s motion. The ideal gas option for air density models the supersonic shockwave accurately due to the Mach number greater than one. This ensures that the shockwave patterns and the bullet movement align closely with real-world physics.
Patience Rosenbaum Sr. –
What benefits does it provide to use a dynamic mesh in this bullet movement simulation compared to using a stationary model?
MR CFD Support –
Using a dynamic mesh in this bullet movement simulation captures the complex interactions between the bullet and the changing air flow around it. It accurately models the deformations of the mesh due to the bullet’s movement at supersonic speeds, whereas a stationary model would not be able to replicate the transient effects and shock waves caused by the bullet’s motion.
Jason Turner –
The training material mentions ideal gas behavior; does this mean it also accounts for temperature changes due to adiabatic compression and expansion of air around the moving bullet?
MR CFD Support –
Yes, the simulation accounts for the changes in temperature due to adiabatic compression and expansion of the air. The ideal gas law is used under the assumption that air behaves as an ideal gas, which allows the simulation to capture the effect of changes in temperature and density as the bullet moves and interacts with the air.

Eleanora Bode –
The explanation for using the dynamic mesh model in this simulation is clear, but could you provide more understanding of how the bullet’s supersonic travel affects its surrounding air particles?
MR CFD Support –
In the case of supersonic bullet travel, the interaction with the surrounding air is quite significant due to the high speeds involved. As the bullet breaks the sound barrier, a shockwave is generated which causes abrupt changes in air pressure and temperature. The dynamic mesh allows for the simulation of these effects by adjusting the mesh around the bullet according to its movement and the interactions with the air, thus providing detailed insight into the phenomena like pressure waves, temperature gradients, and flow fields around the supersonic bullet.
Ms. Kelsie Conroy I –
The project description signals a highly detailed simulation setup, but could you elaborate on how the remeshing process handles the extremely high speeds of the bullet to ensure accuracy in the dynamic mesh?
MR CFD Support –
In the remeshing process, special attention is given to the region in front of and behind the moving bullet where the mesh quality can deteriorate due to high speeds. To ensure accuracy with the dynamic mesh, the simulation uses small time steps for remeshing, allowing a fine adjustment of the mesh to the bullet’s position and the pressure and temperature fields developing around it. Additionally, automatic remeshing criteria are applied that trigger the remeshing process whenever any user-specified mesh quality measurements, like skewness or aspect ratio, exceed threshold values. This continuous monitoring and adjusting maintain the mesh’s ability to capture critical flow features like shock waves that occur at supersonic speeds.
Denis Volkman –

Jennifer Koss –
I’m inspired by this dynamic modeling of a bullet in flight! Can you explain if the simulation takes into account the rotation of the bullet around its axis, like it would in reality after being fired?
MR CFD Support –
The movement simulation does take into account the external ballistics which involve yer and drag but does not specifically include the rotational motion or spin of the bullet about its axis which occurs due to rifling within the gun barrel. For a comprehensive analysis, including the effects of rifling and spin-stabilization would require additional modeling techniques possibly not covered in this simulation. However, the focus of this study is on capturing the high-speed dynamics and associated shockwave effects using Fluent’s Dynamic Mesh capabilities.
