INTRODUCTIONWhat is Mortar Bomb ? - a weapon which is easy to
operate even though it was designed to fire in high trajectory
which can be set between 45 and 85 degrees angle to the ground

RECOMMENDATIONS
CONCLUSIONSy First objective was achieved with all result
about
81mm mortar can be nown by using ANSYS FLUENT 13.0.y the second
succeeded objective which is the
potential location with high velocity located around the front
body.

RECOMMENDATIONS
FUTURE RECOMMENDATIONS1. Studies on propellants for mortar bombs
li e the characteristic and figure of the propellant. 2. Terminal
ballistic analysis.3. Other
materials can be used to replace the materials used to see how
it will gives effect to the result.
4. The proposed model to be fabricated and fired in order to
confirm that it can perform as simulation results.28 April 2011
