<strong>Supersonic</strong> flow around <strong>parachutes</strong><br />

Dominated by interaction with viscous wake<br />

At low supersonic Mach number conical shock<br />

forms and reduces drag<br />

At higher Mach number forebody base flow is<br />

disrupted cyclically and parachute pulsation<br />

commences with large drag loss
