The effects of stable atmospheric-density stratification, vortex core size, and turbulent scale on the descent of aircraft-trailingvortices are investigated using numerical solutions of a second-order closure turbulence model. A Boeing 747 vortex descent is simulated numerically and compared to reported measurements of descent distance, velocity, and circulation profiles. It is concluded that the pair was halted in its descent by a diffuse
