The focus of this project is the investigation in flight performance of ram-air parachutes using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The modeling of a ram-air parachute presents challenges in the prediction of the in-flight geometry, as there is a strong interaction between the flow field and parachute structure. Methods were developed to approximate the geometry and efficiently model the parachute as a rigid body.
