While the term “ogive” is often used to describe the particular point on the bullet where the curve reaches full bullet diameter, in fact the “ogive” properly refers to the entire curve of the bullet …

There are two basic types of ogival nose cone shapes: the tangent ogive and the secant ogive. In tangent ogive, the center of rotation of the arc is in the plane of the base of the nose cone. In …

The ogive nose cone is probably one of the most common shapes used in model rocketry. It exhibits very good drag characteristics for general model rocketry use.

Example: 224 caliber bullet with 1-S ogive has an ogive radius of .224 inches. The typical rifle ogive is 6-S for most factory bullets, because it provides an optimal range of weights …

ic characteristics of the nose cones are bluntness ratios and ogive radius. The studies were conducted on bluntness ratios of 0.4 and ogive radius of 100,150,200 and 250 mm in order to...

The ogive was invoked by Galton in 1874 as the visual embodiment of the method of ranks which he had designed to obviate the need to take actual measurements. Through the mediation of …

So, in the present paper CFD Analysis is carried out using ANSYS for different profiles of nose like Cone, Parabola, Ogive and Von karman Ogive with a fineness ratio of 6 to improve …
