Abstract:

A wake vortex transport model has been developed which includes the effects of wind and wind ; shear, buoyancy, mutual and self-induction, ground plane interaction, viscous decay, finite core ; and Crow instability effects. Photographic and ground-wind vortex tracks obtained from DC-6, B- ; 747, B-707, and CV-880 aircraft flybys are compared with predicted vortex tracks computed using meteorological ; and aircraft data as inputs to the transport model. A parametric analysis of the effects ; of the aircraft, fluid mechanic, and meteorological parameters shows the relative magnitude of each ; transport mechanism. The study constitutes the first detailed comparison of vortex transport theory ; with experimental data.
