At the request of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) has carried out an independent investigation into the question of tornado-borne missile speeds, with a view to assisting NRC in identifying pertinent areas of uncertainty and in estimating credible tornado-borne missile speeds - within the limitations inherent in the present state of the art. The investigation consists of two parts: (1) a study, covered in this report, in which a rational model for the missile motion is proposed, and numerical experiments are carried out corresponding to various assumptions on the initial conditions of the missile motion, the structure of the tornado flow, and the aerodynamic properties of the missile; (2) a theoretical and experimental study of tornado-borne missile aerodynamics, conducted by Colorado State Univ. (CSU) under contract with NBS, to be covered in a separate report by CSU. In the present report, the factors affecting missile motion, and their influence upon such motion, are examined.
