This paper reports an experimental study of the ground effect on a rotor wake when the rotor is operating at a height of less than one rotor diameter above the ground. Particular attention was paid to how the rotor slipstream reacts to the oncoming wind and to the ground vortex generated when the wake eventually strikes the ground.
