Development and Validation of a Nonlinear Fabric Model for Subsonic Parachute Aerodynamics

What is it about?

Analysing the inflation of parachutes is complicated because of the combination of the airflow around and in it, and the parachute material. With a combination of open-source software and in-house development, an accessible and accurate tool has been made, which has been validated against wind-tunnel experiments.
