3-D Parachute Descent Analysis Using Coupled Computational Fluid Dynamic andStructural Codes

摘要

As part of a technology program annex (TPA), a joint effort between the U.S. ArmyNatick Research, Development, and Engineering Center (NRDEC) and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) to develop a computational tool that models the terminal descent characteristics of a single or a cluster of parachutes is now under way. As a first effort, attempts are being made to analyze both two-
