Further Exploring CFD-Based Gust Response of the Powered Parachute

Abstract:

Researched the longitudinal model of the powered parachute , and dynamic numerical simulated the entire gust response in FLUENT . In the experiment, set of three different cycles that with different ranges of the oscillation over the same period by the dynamic mesh. Analyzed and compared the motion parameters against the steady-state, the same period oscillatory motion can effectively ease the impact on the aerodynamic characteristics. The simulation show that: the active exercise of reasonable design parafoil can inhibit the unsteady aerodynamic interference caused by the gust.
