The study focuses both on the ground influence on the flow and on the dissymetry of the wake, observed for a ground clearance greater than 10% of the body height H. Unsteady and mean flows are presented and analyzed. POD study completes the analysis and gives information on the most energetic structures of the flow.}, journal = {International Journal of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {5}, year = {2016}, pages = {926 - 931}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10004460}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/113}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 113, 2016}, }
