Validation and Operation of a Wake Vortex/Shear Interaction Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
A vortex method model developed previously for studying the mechanisms in vortex/shear-layer interactions has been validated with large-eddy turbulence simulations by Proctor et al. (Proctor, F. H., Hinton, D. A., Han, J., Schowalter, D. G., andLin,Y. L., “Two DimensionalWake Vortex Simulations in theAtmosphere: Preliminary Sensitivity Studies,” AIAA Paper 97-0056, Jan. 1997) and eld measurement data. A shear-detection algorithm used to incorporate meteorological wind data is developed. Operational issues are also explored. The shear-thickness effects and the wind measurement resolution requirement and its sensitivity to the prediction algorithm are discussed. The objective of this work is to develop a computational method that is both accurate enough for the intended purpose and rapid enough to be of use in an operational setting at airports.

A Model for Runway Landing Flow and Capacity with Risk and Cost Benefit Factors
As the demand for the civil aviation has been growing for decades and the system becoming increasingly complex, the use of systems engineering and operations research tools have shown to be of further use in managing this system. In this study, we apply such tools in managing landing operations on runways (as the bottleneck and highly valuable resources of air transportation networks) to handle...
متن کاملDirect Numerical Simulation of the Wake Flow Behind a Cylinder Using Random Vortex Method in Medium to High Reynolds Numbers
Direct numerical simulation of turbulent flow behind a cylinder, wake flow, using the random vortex method for an incompressible fluid in two dimensions is presented. In the random vortex method, the primary variable is vorticity of the flow field. After generation on the cylinder wall, it is followed in two fractional time step in a Lagrangian system of coordinates, namely convection and diffu...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Vortex Shapes behind a Wing Equipped with Different Winglets
An extensive experimental study is conducted to examine effects of different winglet-shapes and orientations on the vortex behind a wing, static surface pressure over the wing, and wing wake of a swept wing at various angles of attack. Four types of winglets, spiroid (forward and aft), blended, and winggrid are used in this investigation. Wing static surface pressure measurements are obtained f...
متن کاملOn vortex shedding from an airfoil in low-Reynolds-number flows
Development of coherent structures in the separated shear layer and wake of an airfoil in low-Reynolds-number flows was studied experimentally for a range of airfoil chord Reynolds numbers, 55×10 Rec 210×10, and three angles of attack, α=0◦, 5◦ and 10◦. To illustrate the effect of separated shear layer development on the characteristics of coherent structures, experiments were conducted for two...
متن کاملTwo interacting cylinders in cross flow.
Cylindrical structures in a group are frequently seen on land and in the ocean. Mutual flow interaction between the structures makes the wake very excited or tranquil depending on the spacing between the structures. The excited wake-enhancing forces in some cases cause a catastrophic failure of the structures. This paper presents results of an experimental investigation of Strouhal number (St),...
