Abstract: The flow field of parachute was quite complex because the canopy was a kind of soft fabrics with porosity.It was very difficult to measure the flow field around the canopy with ordinary methods.In wind tannel,seven-hole probe was adopted to measure the flow field around the parachute with a flat,circle canopy without vent.Using the mixed programming technology of Labview combined Matlab engine could easily realize the data collecting and processing.The velocity and pressure distribution were achieved.The flow field topological structures of parachute flow fields and the differential pressure distribution along radial were obtained.This research solved the difficult problem of quantitative measurement on parachute flow field.It is a good technical option to analyze the aerodynamic characteristics of the flow field around the parachute.
