Research abstract
NUMERICAL PREDICTIONS OF GROUND EFFECTS FLOW SUFFER LOSS OF ACCURACY BECAUSE OF INADEQUATE TURBULENCE MODELS AND BECAUSE OF THE INABILITY TO TREAT COMPLEX AIRCRAFT GEOMETRY IN AN ECONOMICAL MANNER. ONE OBJECTIVE OF PHASE I IS TO DEMONSTRATE THAT DATA FROM NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF TURBULENCE CAN BE USED TO GUIDE THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN IMPROVED REYNOLDS-AVERAGED TURBULENCE MODEL FOR GROUND EFFECTS FLOWS. THE SECOND OBJECTIVE IS TO DEMONSTRATE AN ACCURATE, EFFICIENT METHOD OF MODELING AN AIRCRAFT-LIKE CONFIGURATION WITHIN A GRID-BASED NAVIER-STOKES CALCULATION.
