Title: TURBULENT FLOW SIMULATION ON THE GROUND EFFECT ABOUT A 2-DIMENSIONAL AIRFOIL

It has turned out that angle of attack between 2 and 8 degrees is recommended for the airfoil to utilize the benefit of ground effect. For the large angle of attack, the increment of lift due to the ground effect is faded away and negative aerodynamic effect such as destabilizing aspect in static longitudinal stability occurs and the separation point moves to forward as the airfoil approaches a ground.Read More
