The subject of the present work is the investigation of the Magnus effect in the supersonic flow regime by means of 3-D Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes simulations on a generic 6.37 diameter long tangential-ogive-cylinder type projectile especially for high angles of attack. The Mach number is 2.98 and the Reynolds number based on the model length is 1.09 × 107. The Magnus side force shows a nonlinear increase with the angle of attack and thus with the cross-flow Mach number before reaching a maximum value. After a slight decrease, a plateau at 10° to 30° is developed, followed by a distinct decrease of the side force for even higher angles of attack. Using numerical simulations reveals the relationship between side force and angle of attack which leads to the limiting case of a rotating cylinder in cross-flow at 90° angle of attack.
