Abstract:

The interaction of airflow and sea waves seriously affects the flight stability and cruising safety of ground effect vehicles. The influence of different sea states and different angles of attack were analyzed numerically on the aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil under ground effect of wavy wall. The influence of the constant blowing and periodic blowing methods was further studied on the aerodynamic force of the airfoil under ground effect. The simulation results show that the lift coefficient of the airfoil changes periodically with the wave under the wavy ground wall. The amplitude of the lift coefficient fluctuation is larger with the increasing of wave height and angle of attack, or the decreasing of wavelength. Applying the circulation control method for periodic blowing in the same period as the relative motion of the waves can effectively weaken the fluctuation of the airfoil lift coefficient under wavy sea conditions and improve the flight stability and safety of ground effect vehicles.
