Wakeflow analysis by cost

Abstract

COST (Computerized Optical Scanning Tomography) is proposed for visualizing wakeflows of aircraft and wind-tunnel models. Operating very close to real time, COST hardware could be installed at airports to monitor turbulent flow trailing large aircraft, so that smaller aircraft could be directed to avoid turbulence. Real-time analysis of jet-engine exhaust plumes, to reduce pollution and optimize performance, is also possible.
