The trajectory of dart is governed by the complex fluid flow around the dart. We evaluated the aerodynamic characteristics and the fluid flow attributed to the in-flight pitch stabilization. Our findigs show how the wake of dart is riddled with various vortex-wall and vortex-vortex interactions which determine the aerodyamic behavior of the dart.
