CFD Parachute simulation

Back



Modeling a parachute or any airdrop systems applications is very complex due to the large movements and deformations involved as the parachute deploys. Advanced computational techniques involving fully dynamic meshes can be used to model these systems, as seen in this simulation. The techniques used to model the opening of a parachute include stabilized finite-element methods, automatic mesh generation, coupled iterative equation solvers, dynamic-mesh methods, Arbitrary Lagrange/Eulerian (ALE) formulations, fluid-structure interactions (FSI), and parallel computing using Unified Parallel C (UPC).

nice simulation, on what Computer did u run this Simulation? how much power do i need to calculate such a system?

lagragian method using the particle dynamics based on N-S and Boltzmand eq.

What kind of method do you use... nice simulation... ALE? how did you do the mesh? mind sharing?

Many particles simulation ?
