VSTOL Ground Effects Characterization and Control

Abstract

Develop and validate a numerical method using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for the prediction of VSTOL ground effects flow fields. Use the validated computational prediction method to explore flow control devices designed to limit lift loss due to suckdown and hot gas ingestion and to limit landing area heating and acoustic level.
