Added mass and the dynamic stability of parachutes

Abstract

Reference , A., Flight Mechanics, Vol. 1: Theory of Flight Paths, Pergamon Press, New York, 1962, Chap. 9, pp. 149-189. solid body inertia tensor ([#]), principal axes, and mass center, there exist an added inertia tensor ([>!]), principal axes, and a center of added mass. Referring to Ibrahim, we find the equivalent external forces and moments exerted on the fluid [Ref. 7, Eqs. (3.46) and (3.47)] are
