Several notes on ground effects drawn from Navier-Stokes analyses and their aerodynamic interpretations were addressed here; For two-dimensional ground effect, the change of surface pressure due to image vortex, the venturi effect due to thickness and the primary inviscid flow phenomena of ground effect, and for three-dimensional ground effect, strengthened wing tip vortices, increased effective span and the outward drift of trailing vortices. Irodov's criteria were evaluated to investigate the static longitudinal stability of conventional NACA 6409 and DHMTU 8-30 airfoils. The analysis results demonstrated superior static longitudinal stability of DHMTU 8-30 airfoil. The DHMTU airfoil has quite lower value of lrodov's criterion than the conventional NACA airfoil, which require much smaller tail volume to stabilize the whole WIG-craft at its design stage.

This paper presents the results of 3rd wind tunnel test for the wings of WIG R/C test models, 'Hanjin-1' & 'Hanjin-2'. We made 'Hanjin-1' in last May 1995 and had a success in test flight. And in order to grasp the aerodynamic characteristics of wings in ground effect, the measurements of lift and drag were carried out for the various kinds of wing. It was shown that lift and lift-drag ratio increase with decrease of the clearance, but the feature was considerably depended on the shape of wing section. In this case we select the three kind of wing. section, and then compare their characteristics especially for a stability in longitudinal motion. They are NACA6409 for 'Hanjin-1' and the two kinds of DHMTU for ekranoplans of Russia. Experimental results show that the pitching moments of DHMTU wing sections are smaller than NACA6409.

In this paper, an iterative boundary element method (IBEM) was proposed to solve for a wing-in-ground (WIG) effect. IBEM is a fast and accurate method used in many different fields of engineering and in this work; it is applied to a fluid flow problem assessing a wing in ground proximity. The theory and the developed code are validated first with other methods and the obtained results with the proposed method are found to be encouraging. Then, time consumptions of the direct and iterative methods were contrasted to evaluate the efficiency of IBEM. It is found out that IBEM dominates direct BEM in terms of time consumption in all trials. The iterative method seems very useful for quick assessment of a wing in ground proximity condition. After all, a NACA6409 wing section in ground vicinity is solved with IBEM to evaluate the WIG effect.

A two-dimensional airfoil flying over a wavy wall is calculated by solving the unsteady Euler equation. Unsteady Transonic flow over an NACA00012 airfoil in pitching motion has been computed for code validation. Some numerical results for NACA6409 airfoil under different wave number, wave length, fly height are presented. The numerical results show the variation of lift and pitching moment coefficients are increased as wave length decrease.

Aerodynamic characteristics of tandem airfoil under ground effect is investigated numerically. Some numerical results for NACA 6409 tandem airfoil are presented. The numerical results show that as being decreased distance between airfoils, the lift coefficient of leading airfoil is increased and that of trailing airfoil is decreased. Drag coefficient shows opposite property, At the same distance between leading airfoil and trailing airfoil, lower position of trailing airfoil give better tandem airfoil effect.

본 논문은 2차원 해면효과의 수치계산 결과를 정리하였다. 지면으로부터의 높이변화에 따른 점성유동장을 계산하기 위하여 지배방정식으로는 비압축성 RANS 방정식을, 시간에 대하여서는 음해법으로 프로그램을 구성하였다. 압력항은 가상압축성과 4차 수치확산항을 추가하는 것에 의해 계산하였으며, 높은 레이놀즈 수에서의 효과적인 계산을 위해 Baldwin- Lomax 난류모델을 도입하였다. 해면효과가 없는 무한유중에서의 NACA-0012 단면 계산결과를 실험 데이터와 비교하는 것에 의해 프로그램의 타당성을 확인하였다. NACA-6409와 두께 비 4.6%의 날개에 대하여 해면효과를 고려한 계산을 수행하였다. 계산결과, 높이의 변화에 따라 계산된 무차원계수, 압력 및 속도분포는 해면효과의 특성을 잘 보여주고 있다.
