Abstract
This survey presents a comprehensive investigation of blunt body dynamic stability. An examination of the experimental, analytical, and computational methods for predicting dynamic stability characteristics, along with the deficiencies accompanying each method is presented. The observed influence of vehicle and environmental parameters on the resulting dynamic response is discussed. Additionally, the proposed physical mechanisms that may govern this complex phenomenon are introduced. There exists a vast amount of literature and test data that is continually growing with each mission. Compiling the observations of dynamic behavior acquired from various test geometries, environments, and techniques, as well as the proposed explanations to the observed trends, sheds light on the validity of the proposed physical mechanisms. This in turn guides future efforts to improve the experimental and computational prediction techniques and further the fundamental understanding of blunt body dynamic stability.
