Fluid-structure interaction simulations of the inflated shape of ram-air parachutes
Historically, the development of ram-air parachutes, or parafoils, has been mostly empirical. The use of computational methods has the potential to provide a greater level of insight into the underpinning mechanisms of parachute flight than that offered by experiments alone. To this end, a loosely c...
