A finite-difference machine code is brought to bear on the wake-vortex problem in the quasi-cylindrical boundary-layer approximation. A turbulent-energy model containing new features is developed that accounts for the major effects disclosed by more advanced models in which the parameters are not yet established.Several puzzles are resolved that arose in previous theoretical investigations of wake vortices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
