ABSTRAKT

In this paper, we present Large Eddy Simulation (LES) results of aircraft wake vortices evolving in a stably stratified atmosphere. The results were obtained using a pseudospectral Navier-Stokes solver. Three stratification cases were investigated, from moderate (N* = 0.75) to very high (N* = 1.4). A 3-D visualization of the flow field is also provided, for the case N* = 1.0, in order to highlight the salient features of the flow. The wake vortex system time evolution is analyzed, for all cases, using global diagnostics (trajectory and circulation of the primary wake vortices). The results are compared and discussed. The results of this work will also enable the improvement and calibration of wake vortex behavior operational models, such as the Deterministic/ Probabilistic wake Vortex Model (DVM/PVM, see De Visscher et al., 2008).
