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.

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.
