Abstract
Airfoil/jet/ground-interaction flowfields are calculated by solving Euler equations on body-conforming curvilinear grids. For these computations, Jameson's Euler code (FLO-53) based on an explicit Runge-Kutta time-marching finite-volume procedure is modified. Euler equations are preconditioned for computing almost incompressible flows. Euler equations capture the vortex formation behind the jet and most of the airfoil/jet/ground-plane interaction, except the effect of entrainment. Reasonable agreement is obtained between the calculated and experimental values of the lift on the airfoil for moderate values of jet-velocity to freestream-velocity ratio.
