Numerical simulation of low speed high Angle of attack rotating missile was carried out by using different turbulence models, and the numerical simulation results were compared with the experimental results. The results show that the SST-DDES model can well simulate the aerodynamic characteristics of the rotating missile at low speed and high Angle of attack. Under the condition of low speed and high Angle of attack, the difference of the lateral force produced by the missile’s tail fin is small, and the variation of the total missile lateral force mainly depends on the variation of the projectile body lateral force. When the Angle of attack increases from 40.1° to 60.1°, the direction of the missile’s lateral force changes. This is because with the increase of the Angle of attack, the fluid velocity perpendicular to the projectile increases, resulting in the interaction and fusion of asymmetric vortexes on the leeward side, resulting in the change of lateral force direction.
