Abstract

As an accompaniment to assessment of DGA Aeronautical Systems created a simulation and model-building capability to gain a better understanding of the parachute dynamic behavior and to maximize the parachute systems flight tests. This work reports on the latest developments in Arbitrary Lagrangian mathematical (ALE) methods for analyzing the properties of the quasi-steady state descent phases and canopy inflation. Thus far, none of the simulations of the endless mass type have been created by restricting the parachute confluence point and forcing a specific airflow through the body of water. Its flight will be simulated through testing of these code changes, which should enable more precise analysis of the canopy’s dynamics and the materials’ structural dynamics. There is also discussion of these upcoming characteristics.
