Keywords: high-lift aerodynamics, ground effect, cfd, turbulence modelling, aerodynamic modelling

CFD computations are performed on a modern transport aircraft. A mesh study is performed to alleviate mesh dependency. Different turbulence models are investigated and their applicability is studied in detail. The CFD solutions are validated and discussed in detail.
