Abstract

A validated computational fluid-structure interaction method applied to supersonic parachute inflation is extended to consider a unique, parallel self-contact algorithm, porosity interface conditions on the canopy, improved flow field sampling procedures for obtaining quality loading on the parachute canopy, adaptive mesh refinement, and improved treatment of thin geometries in an immersed boundary framework. These extensions are discussed in detail and demonstrated individually on test problems. Finally, the developments are brought together for demonstration on a sub-scale MSL parachute geometry.
