Fluid--Structure Interaction Modeling of Modified-Porosity Parachutes and Parachute Clusters

To increase aerodynamic performance, the geometric porosity of a ringsail spacecraft parachute canopy is sometimes increased, beyond the "rings" and "sails" with hundreds of "ring gaps" and "sail slits." This creates extra computational challenges for fluid--...
