Velocity Field Measurements in the Near Wake of a Parachute Canopy

Velocity Field Measurements in the Near Wake of a Parachute Canopy

The velocity field in the wake of a small scale flexible parachute canopy was measured using two-dimensional particle image velocimetry. The experiments were performed in a water tunnel with the Reynolds number ranging from 3.0-6.0 x 104. Both a fully inflated canopy and the inflation phase were i...
