Abstract
Parachutes which operate in the supersonic regime are known to be unstable unless their porosity is much lower than that of a conventional one [1]. A front-facing concave body, (i.e., a body with a shape resembling a cup), is a typical shape of a parachute without suspension lines. The flow diagnosis around such body is the main theme of the present study.
