[b]SIMULATION OF WAKE VORTEX AIRCRAFT IN GROUND EFFECT[/b]
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2011, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The problem developed in this paper is encountered in airplane aerodynamics and concerns the influence of long life longitudinal wake vortices generated by wing tips or by external obstacles such as reactors or landing gears. More generally it concerns 3D bodies of finite extension in cross flow. At the edge of such obstacles, longitudinal vortices are created by pressure differences inside the boundary layers and rotate in opposite senses. It can constitute a danger to another aircraft that flies in this wake, especially during takeoff and landing. In this case the wake vortex trajectories and strengths are altered by ground interactions. This study presents the results of a Large Eddy Simulation of wake vortex in ground effect providing the vorticity flux behavior.
