Aerodynamics of parachutes and like bodies in unsteady motion
As a parachute descends, its axis of symmetry oscillates about a vertical axis. This oscillation implies angular acceleration, with consequential linear acceleration developing. The significance of the acceleration terms in evaluating parachute performance has been long appreciated and commonly allo...
