National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

IBHVG2 (Interior Ballistics of High Velocity Guns, Version 2)--A User's Guide.

ADB117104

Publication Date	1987
Personal Author	Anderson, R. D.; Fickie, K. D.
Page Count	178
Abstract	IBHVG2, which stands for Interior Ballistics of High Velocity Guns, version 2, is a lumped-parameter, interior ballistic computer code. The code, which was developed at the BRL, is an updated version of the classic Baer Frankle interior ballistic code. IBHVG2 is used for calculation of interior ballistic trajectories, including gas pressure, projectile displacement and projectile velocity as a function of time. The code treats both regular and deterred propellants. It contains powerful variational and searching capabilities, so that it can, for example, search and find the best propellant dimensions, given the maximum allowable gas pressure. This report thoroughly documents IBHVG2, so that all of its many features can be used effectively. The report contains a detailed description of the range of possible user input and description of both the algorithms embodied along with the FORTRAN subroutines which implement them. There are also complete examples of input and output from the code. Although the code has been written to be as generally applicable as possible, the report has a short section describing modifications that are necessary to enable the code to run on various computers and complier combinations. A machine-readable copy of the code can be obtained by contacting the authors of this report.
