A Numerical Simulation of Parachute Opening Process Based on ALE Method

Abstract:

In this paper, the parachute opening process of finite mass situation was simulated based on ALE method. The results of structure change, the flow field change and some important aerodynamic data were obtained. Compared with the experiment, it can be found that the opening process was same with the actual opening. This method was useful in parachute designing and performance analyzing.
