High Reynolds number incompressible flow simulation about parachute canopies and similar bluff bodies

A model for the flow around bluff bodies has been developed. It is applied to an investigation of parachute canopy aerodynamic characteristics. Since the model assumes an axisymmetric incompressible high Reynolds number flow, it is only applicable to the calculation of aerodynamic characteristics at...
