This study focuses on optimizing the nose angles of high-speed bullets through numerical analysis to improve their aerodynamic performance. High-speed bullets, traveling at supersonic velocities, face complex aerodynamic challenges, including shockwave formation and increased drag. Utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD), we simulate various nose geometries to analyze their effects on airflow, drag, and overall ballistic stability.The optimization process involves systematically varying the nose angles, ranging from blunt to sharply pointed configurations, to identify which designs yield the best aerodynamic characteristics. Our findings demonstrate that specific optimized nose angles can significantly reduce drag while enhancing flight stability, resulting in improved accuracy and extended range.
