Book Vortex wakes of Aircrafts

Download or read book Vortex wakes of Aircrafts written by A.S. Ginevsky and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-07-07 with total page 166 pages. 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.

Book A Flight Evaluation of Methods for Predicting Vortex Wake Effects on Trailing Aircraft

Download or read book A Flight Evaluation of Methods for Predicting Vortex Wake Effects on Trailing Aircraft written by Glenn H. Robinson and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of four current analytical methods for predicting wing vortex strength and decay rate are compared with the results of a flight investigation of the wake characteristics of several large jet transport aircraft. An empirical expression defining the strength and decay rate of wake vortices is developed that best represents most of the flight-test data. However, the expression is not applicable to small aircraft that would be immersed in the vortex wake of large aircraft.

Book Aircraft Wake Vortices Characterization and Alleviation

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The serious impact of the trailing vortices from large aircraft is well known. Many examples exist of the damage caused to following aircraft caught up in the swirling wake shed from an upstream aircraft. Motivation behind the present investigation is the alleviation of the rolling moment induced on the following aircraft by means of a differential spoiler setting DSS's. An experimental investigation on a wing tip vortex generated by generic aircraft model, Subsonic Wall Interference Model (SWIM) in plain and flapped wing configurations was conducted in a low speed wind tunnel at Korean Aerospace Research Institute (KARI). Particle image velocimetry was used to characterize wing tip vortex structures as well as to distinguish and quantify vortex meandering and further remove its effects. In subsequent experiments investigation on wake vortices has been carried out in the international Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) low speed wind tunnel for the evaluation of differential spoiler settings (DSS) capabilities in modifying the span-wise wing load and further reduces the wake vortex hazard. Advanced PIV technique was used to measure the wake velocities at four cross-section planes down-stream of the aircraft half model in the near and extended near wake field. Model was investigated at high lift configuration as well as at four DSS configurations believed to modify the span-wise wing loading (two inboard and two outboard loading cases). Results reveal a noticeable inboard shift of wing loading along with the direct interaction of the spoiler's wake and flap tip vortex for the inboard loading cases. Implementation of DSS results in a substantial redistribution of the flap tip vortex circulation with a diameter of the merged vortex increased by a factor of up to 2.72 times, relative to the undisturbed flap tip vortex. Inspection of the cross-stream distribution of axial vorticity shows up to 2.33 times reduction in the peak vorticity value. A 44% decrease of the maximum cross-flow velocity was recorded for the case of deployed spoilers relative to undisturbed flap tip vortex maximum cross-flow velocity. The wing tip vortex experiences the effect of wing load modification but doesn't show appreciable difference, both in terms of cross-flow velocity and local circulation distribution. Evaluations of the outboard loading results indicate a limited diffusion experienced by the vortex due to the increased level of turbulence. Influence of DSS's on the wake vortex structure emphasizes that separation distance (spoiler wake/wing-flap tips vortices) plays an important role in the favorable interaction expected. Finally assessment of the DSS's capabilities as a wake vortex attenuation device reveals, while position of the maximum induced rolling moments in the flap tip area is little influenced by the DSS's, the maximum induced rolling moment coefficient was reduced to a nearly one third relative to the undisturbed flap tip vortex value.
