The added mass, drag and drag coefficient of a uniform and accelerated motion projectile in viscous incompressible fluid were calculated by numerical simulation and dynamic mesh method. The effect of velocity and acceleration on the added mass, drag and drag coefficient of the projectile in a launch tube was investigated. The results show that the variation rules of added mass, drag and drag coefficient are basically the same when the projectile moves at different speeds. The added mass, drag and drag coefficient become smaller and drag becomes bigger with the increase of speed. The variation rules of the added mass, drag and drag coefficient are the same as uniform motion when the projectile moves at different accelerations. The added mass and drag coefficient become smaller and drag becomes bigger with the increase of acceleration. These reveal that the motion region, velocity and acceleration have some effect on the added mass, drag and drag coefficient.
