The Ground Effect in Anguilliform Swimming. [PDF]
Some anguilliform swimmers such as eels and lampreys swim near the ground, which has been hypothesized to have hydrodynamic benefits. To investigate whether swimming near ground has hydrodynamics benefits, two large-eddy simulations of a self-propelled anguilliform swimmer are carried out—one swimming far away from the ground (free swimming) and the ...

Aerodynamic analysis of an AK-47 bullet moving at mach 2.0 in close proximity to the ground [PDF]
The bullet is shot near the wall or the ground during urban warfare. This nearness leads to a pressure distribution on the bullet's entire body, which is asymmetric.

Diffraction assisted rough ground effect. [PDF]
Ground effect results from the interference between sound traveling directly from a point source to a receiver and that reflected coherently from the ground. The frequencies associated with first and subsequent order destructive interference in excess attenuation spectra are determined by the source-receiver geometry and the ground impedance. Typically

Research on Ground Effect of Ducted Fans of VTOL UAVs
In recent years, ducted fans, as a kind of propeller with excellent performance, have been widely used in various vertical take-off and landing(VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs). However, there is less research on its ground effect in China. Therefore,

Revising of the Near Ground Helicopter Hover: The Effect of Ground Boundary Layer Development
The interaction of a helicopter rotor with the ground in hover flight is addressed numerically using a hybrid Eulerian–Lagrangian CFD model. When a helicopter takes off or lands, its wake interferes with the ground.
