Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without major changes, the current air transportation system will be unable to accommodate the expected increase in demand by 2025. One proposal to address this problem is to use the Global Positioning System to enable aircraft to fly more closely spaced. This approach, however, might be limited by the wake turbulence problem, which can be a safety hazard when smaller aircraft follow relatively larger aircraft too closely. To examine how this potential hazard might be reduced, Congress in 2005 directed NASA to request a study from the NRC to assess the federal wake turbulence R&D program. This book provides a description of the problem, an assessment of the organizational challenges to addressing wake turbulence, an analysis of the technical challenges in wake turbulence, and a proposal for a wake turbulence program plan. A series of recommendations for addressing the wake turbulence challenge are also given.

This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vortex Advisory System Simulation of Chicago O'hare International Airport The introduction of wide-bodied jet aircraft, coupled with an increase in airport total operations, has given added significance to the aircraft wake vortex problem. The trailing wake vortices from a large aircraft can pose a serious hazard to smaller aircraft. The smaller aircraft encountering one of these wake vortices may be subjected to extreme rolling movements which can result in a loss of control, a loss of altitude, and possibly structural damage. At present, to reduce the possibility of this occurring, and thus maintain safety standards, separation between selected aircraft pairs has been increased from previous standards. This, of course, has resulted in a redue tion of operations below theoretical airport capacity. Until recently, limited knowledge concerning the characteristics and behavior of wake vortices mandated these larger separation standards. Studies and tests sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration (faa) have shown that vortex characteristics are established initially by the aircraft's gross weight, airspeed, flight configuration, and wingspan. Subsequently, it has been found that vortex characteristics are altered, and eventually dominated, by interactions between the vortices and the ambient atmosphere. This was determined from analysis of over vortex tracks entered into the data base at Transportation Systems Center (tsc), and it has led directly to the development of the vas, a system designed to expedite atc operations while exercising vortex avoidance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigation of vortex wakes behind various aircraft, especially behind wide bodied and heavy cargo ones, is of both scientific and practical in terest. The vortex wakes shed from the wing’s trailing edge are long lived and attenuate only atdistances of10–12kmbehindthe wake generating aircraft. The encounter of other aircraft with the vortex wake of a heavy aircraft is open to catastrophic hazards. For example, air refueling is adangerous operationpartly due to thepossibility of the receiver aircraft’s encountering the trailing wake of the tanker aircraft. It is very important to know the behavior of vortex wakes of aircraft during theirtakeoff andlanding operations whenthe wakes canpropagate over the airport’s ground surface and be a serious hazard to other depart ing or arriving aircraft. This knowledge can help in enhancing safety of aircraft’s movements in the terminal areas of congested airports where the threat of vortex encounters limits passenger throughput. Theoreticalinvestigations of aircraft vortex wakes arebeingintensively performedinthe major aviationnations.Usedforthispurpose are various methods for mathematical modeling of turbulent flows: direct numerical simulation based on the Navier–Stokes equations, large eddy simulation using the Navier–Stokes equations in combination with subrigid scale modeling, simulation based on the Reynolds equations closed with a differential turbulence model. These approaches are widely used in works of Russian and other countries’ scientists. It should be emphasized that the experiments in wind tunnels and studies of natural vortex wakes behind heavy and light aircraft in flight experiments are equally important.
Download or read book Aircraft Wake Vortex Spacing System AVOSS Performance Update and Validation Study written by David K. Rutishauser and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis has been performed on data generated from the two most recent field deployments of the Aircraft Wake Vortex Spacing System (AVOSS). The AVOSS provides reduced aircraft spacing criteria for wake vortex avoidance as compared to the FAA spacing applied under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). Several field deployments culminating in a system demonstration at Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport in the summer of 2000 were successful in showing a sound operational concept and the system's potential to provide a significant benefit to airport operations. For DFW, a predicted average throughput increase of 6% was observed. This increase implies 6 or 7 more aircraft on the ground in a one-hour period for DFE operations. Several studies of performacne correlations to system configuration options, and system inputs are also reported. The studies focus on the validation performance of the system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To better understand aircraft wake behavior with the goal to increase flight safety and airport capacity, the aircraft wake vortex lifecycle was simulated using computational fluid dynamics. Using a build-up approach, best practices for wing-tip vortex roll-up were developed starting with a simple inviscid vortex, and building up in complexity to a finite wing and full aircraft. Validation of the best practices was accomplished with comparisons to wind tunnel data. Best practices were then applied to the German Aerospace Center F11 wind tunnel model and the NASA Common Research Model with validation of results with wind tunnel measurements. Vortex sensitivity to aircraft configuration were explored by changing the details of the F11 model, and by adding a generic winglet to the Common Research Model. Results demonstrated that the wake vortex changed significantly with aircraft configuration. The wake of the Common Research Model was used to initialize two-dimensional evolution studies which propagated the wake system to 10 wing spans downstream. Best practices were developed to demonstrate low numerical error and the computational savings of using adaptive mesh refinement. Three-dimensional simulations were carried out with the Common Research Model to resolve 10 wing spans downstream, however with a coarser-than-desired mesh due to computational limitations. The solution was used to initialize three-dimensional decay simulations. A testbed case of wake vortex decay was used to develop best practices and quantify error sources for decay simulations in a cost-effective manner. Those best practices were applied to the Common Research Model decay simulation. Results throughout the research were compared to idealized vortex models that in practice are used to initialize decay simulations. For all comparisons, including the aircraft effects resulted with significant differences to the idealized vortex models. Including the aircraft effects in the simulations resulted in more accurate wake results.

Download or read book Aircraft Wake Turbulence and Its Detection written by John Olsen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combination of increasing airport congestion and the ad vent of large transports has caused increased interest in aircraft wake turbulence. A quantitative understanding of the interaction between an aircraft and the vortex wake of a preceding aircraft is necessary for planning future high density air traffic patterns and control systems. The nature of the interaction depends on both the characteristics of the following aircraft and the characteristics of the wake. Some of the questions to be answered are: What deter mines the full characteristics of the vortex wake? What properties of the following aircraft are important? What is the role of pilot response? How are the wake characteristics related to the genera ting aircraft parameters? How does the wake disintegrate and where? Many of these questions were addressed at this first Aircraft Wake Turbulence Symposium sponsored by the Air Force Office of Sci entific Research and The Boeing Company. Workers engaged in aero dynamic research, airport operations, and instrument development came from several count ries to present their results and exchange information. The new results from the meeting provide a current picture of the state of the knowledge on vortex wakes and their interactions with other aircraft. Phenomena previously regarded as mere curiosities have emerged as important tools for understanding or controlling vortex wakes. The new types of instability occurring within the wake may one day be used for promoting early dis integration of the hazardous twin vortex structure.
