Calculator Drag Coefficient of Parachute in Turbulent Forebody Wake
The drag coefficient of high-speed decelerator in turbulent forebody wake can be predicted by the Calculator. The remote program EXPRESS is applied in this case. Thus, this task is solved by our server. For this purpose, fill in forms below (data, your e-mail address and name) and submit. Then e-mail with form will be received by the server, processed and sent with the results back to your e-mail box. We need your e-mail address because these products are e-mail based. If you have concerns about giving out your e-mail address, please read our statement of integrity. The Calculator will run JavaScripts.

Specific Heatings Ratio (Cp/Cv)= Mach Number (1<M<6)= ForeBody-Canopy Distance (m) = ForeBody (FB) Diamemter (m) = Reynolds Number (based on FB Diam.) = Forebody Drag coefficient for a chosen Mach Number =
Type of wake: 2-Dimensional plane2-Dimensional axisymmetric (first option - for long busters transverse to flow) Parachute Canopy Total Area (sq.m, including holes) = Parachute Canopy Referenced Area (sq.m)= Parachute Canopy Mouth (inlet) Area (sq.m)= Reefing Coefficient (for axisymmetric canopies only)= Inlet Section Area Reduced due to Pulsation (in %: 100% for unpulsing) = Aerodynamic Blockage of the Canopy Inlet by Suspension Lines (in %, <20%) =
Porosity of the Canopy: Yes No (next 3 values ignored if "No", leave them as they are) Porosity Coefficient (<0.2) = Porosity in Polar Area (<0.2)= Porosity in Lateral Area(<0.1) =
