Abstract:
In this paper, we investigate numerically the aerodynamic performance of a non-planar circular arc wing operating in ground effect, focusing on minimizing drag while analyzing lift, drag and efficiency factor coefficient.The ground proximity influence on the flow velocity at its tips it is studied. Numerical simulations also suggest a significant drag reduction at low ground clearance.
