Study on the Profile and Flow Field Variation of Parachute Coating by Seven-hole Probe Method
Abstract: In general, the parachute test is a long test cycle, expensive, and difficult to measure with accuracy, which makes it a very laborious and time-consuming task. Therefore, attempts have been made to overcome this by using a parachute test stand or by simulation, but in our country, there is no numerical simulation of the parachute and there is no research on it. In this paper, the variation of the shape …
