Abstract

This paper presents part of the recent progress of the joint research effort between Farhat Research Group (FRG) at Stanford University and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, to develop physics-based simulation capabilities for supersonic parachute deployment on Martian atmosphere. As part of this collaboration several advances have been made and documented both on the fluid and the structural sides of AERO; a suite of state-of-the-art multi-physics codes developed by FRG. Motivated from preliminary coupled fluid-structure-interaction (FSI) simulations, this paper presents updates on the initial-fold configuration of the parachute geometry before an inflation, in order to closely capture the state of a stretched parachute right after deployment. The paper also summarizes an ongoing mesh convergence study to determine the resolution needed to detect the maximum stress at the canopy of the parachute, one of the important quantities of interest in this study.
