N2  - Although many researchers, from a number of industries, have studied the aerodynamics of ground effect conditions, published research remains inconclusive. Published results are frequently found to conflict and modeling procedures (in both computational and experimental situations) vary. In this paper, existing research is reviewed and the methods used in obtaining the results are compared. Possible causes for the discrepancies in the published work are outlined, including the inappropriate specifications of boundary conditions and the neglect of viscosity in some computational analyses. Computational and experimental analyses are then performed to determine if these identified areas do cause inconsistences in results and to also determine accurate simulation procedures.     <p>Language: en</p>
