Study of minimal effective reefing ratio based on an empirical formula and fluid-structure-interaction method

The reefing ratio for the first stage of a parachute limits the reefing ratio for the subsequent stages, so its minimal effective value is very important. In this paper, an empirical formula is derived to calculate the minimal effective reefing ratio. The empirical parameters are obtained by the ar...
