Notes:
We describe the implementation of a new 3D vortex algorithm for the computation of the drag and flow field around parachutes. Among its novel features, the algorithm couples large eddy simulation methodology with the vortex method, away from the wall region. Furthermore, boundary conditions for a wall (no-slip) and compliant boundaries were implemented. The results of several simulations using this algorithm are analysed and discussed. The spectral contents of the vortex method are also considered.
