A projectile with exotic wraparound wings( WAW) configuration is designed to improve the finstabilized projectile shooting quality. Two fin-stabilized projectiles with the same body with and without exotic WAW configuration are simulated numerically by applying the Roe scheme. The shear-stress transport turbulence models and the lower-upper symmetric Gauss-Seidel implicit method are used to solve 3D Reynoldsaveraged Navier—Stokes equations. The differences in aerodynamic coefficients and aerodynamic characteristics of the projectiles when the Mach number varies from 0. 35 to 0. 95 are obtained,and the cause of these differences is analyzed. The calculation results indicate that the lift-to-drag ratio of the projectile significantly increases,the rolling moment decreases,and the position of the pressure center of the projectile shows relatively small changes when the exotic WAW configuration is used. Therefore,this projectile can obviously reduce rolling effect,enlarge range and improve flying stability.
