I am part of an aircraft project at the college that participates in the SAE Aerodesign competition in Brazil. I represent the Aerodynamics area of the team and I have some difficulties in obtaining reliable ground effect data for analysis of our airfoils and aircraft. I use the AVL, Xflr5 and Star CCM + software (for CFD analysis). I would like to help to define errors of CL, CD and Alpha among these software and wind tunnel data, because after a series of researches the information about the ground effect in 3D models proved to be very scanty.
Would also like to know if there is other software or other forms of analysis that I could using to extract data from ground effect
