Aerodynamic Characteristics of a Ducted Fan Hovering and Transition in Ground Effect

Ducted fans installed on vertical takeoff and landing vehicles experience significant ground effect during takeoff and landing. The aerodynamic characteristics of a ducted fan hovering and transitioning in the ground effect are studied using numerical simulations in this paper. The flowfields are ob...
