Effect of Camber and Thiclness on the Aerodynamic Properties of an Airfoil in Ground Proximity
Abstract:
A linear vortex panel method is extended to include the effect Abstract of ground proximity on the aerodynamic properties of two dimensional airfoils. The image method is used to model the ground effect. According to the results, lift coefficient of an airfoil may increase or decrease in ground effect based on a combinative effect of its camber, thickness, angle of attack and ground clearance. Airfoils with different section parameters are analysed and their relative effectiveness are compared.
