A Physics- and Data-Driven Study on the Ground Effect on the Propulsive Performance of Tandem Flapping Wings

In this paper, we present a physics- and data-driven study on the ground effect on the propulsive performance of tandem flapping wings. With numerical simulations, the impact of the ground effect on the aerodynamic force, energy consumption, and efficiency is analyzed, revealing a unique coupling ef...
