concretedog<p>Getting a bit further with my exploration of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) this evening. Using the mighty <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@FreeCAD" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>FreeCAD</span></a></span> I've modelled this "Ballute" style parachute and simulated it descending at 6m/s in air. The air velocity is plotted in the images. Ace to see the turbulence in the point cloud/steam chaser view. If any <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CFD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CFD</span></a> experts fancy a chat....
