THE flow around an airfoil is considerably modified under the influence of ground effect. The
dividing streamline and the stagnation point generally move down for positive angles of …

The aerodynamics and flow physics of a NACA 4412 airfoil in ground effect for a wide range
of angles of attack from− 4 to 20 deg are investigated by numerical simulations. The …

The flow around a wing-in-ground-effect craft flying at α= 3 deg and α= 9 deg over flat and
wavy ground is simulated and investigated by using ANSYS FLUENT, employing the …

Wind tunnel experiments are conducted using membrane wings and rigid flat-plates in
ground-effect at a moderate Reynolds number of Re= 56 000 with ground clearances from …

The main focus of this paper is on the simulation of flow past a three-dimensional wing-body
configuration (DLR-F6) in ground effect; a complex 3D wing-body configuration in ground …

Aerodynamic characteristics of two-dimensional smart flap under the ground effect have
been assessed by a numerical simulation. In this process, a pressure-based implicit …

We perform a linear BiGlobal modal stability analysis on the separated flow around a NACA
4415 airfoil at low Reynolds numbers (R e= 300–1000) and a high angle of attack (α= 20°) …

The aero-train is an innovative, high-efficiency, and low-consumption vehicle that uses the
wing-in-ground effect. It utilizes orbital high voltage to obtain a high lift-to-drag ratio while …

WING-in-ground effect (WIG) crafts have been developed to fill the gap between ships and
aircraft as a new option for transportation. The speed of WIG craft is higher than a fast boat …

Abstract Traditional methods of Wing-In-Ground effect (WIG) vehicle longitudinal stability
analysis in cruise are based on calculation of aerodynamic forces and moments coefficients …
