Applied topology and fluid dynamics + origami? Pretty sure there’s no program for this so you can just show up. Also I bet they really need people who can help

Applied topology and fluid dynamics + origami? Pretty sure there’s no program for this so you can just show up. Also I bet they really need people who can help with the simulations. If you email the authors you can probably get added to the team. I too love this. It’s that intersection of devilishly hard and almost useless unless you squint then it’s sci-fi magic tech. There are quite a few cases where you want the parachute to drop straight down.

>There are quite a few cases where you want the parachute to drop straight down. Model rocketry, for example. You don't want your rocket to drift miles on its chute. However this is mostly solved by 2 stage deploy (drogue deployed at apogee, then full size chute deployed near ground).
