Wake Vortex Encounter Model Validation Experiments

Abstract

The goal of this current research is to establish a database that validate/calibrate wake encounter analysis methods for fleet-wide application; and measure/document atmospheric effects on wake decay. Two kinds of experiments, wind tunnel experiments and flight experiments, are performed. This paper discusses the different types of tests and compares their wake velocity measurement.
