Ground Simulation Symposium at DNW

On the occasion of the successful commissioning of the new moving belt in the DNW-LLF, an international symposium on ground proximity simulation was held on 25 and 26 April 2013. The symposium, sponsored by the AIAA as well as the DGLR brought together wind tunnel operators, aircraft manufacturers and academic researchers concerned with the realistic simulation and prediction of the effect of ground proximity upon the aircraft and engine aerodynamics. The first day of the symposium was taken up by presentations of various contributing parties, which will be collected in a booklet. On the photo all the podium presenters of the first day of the symposium are gathered. The topics presented ranged from the calibration of the moving belt as the simulator of an airport runway to the possible loss of lift in ground proximity despite the common expectation of lift enhancement.
