Aircraft Wake Vortex Scenarios Simulation For Take-Off and Departure

Aircraft Wake Vortex Scenarios Simulation Package for Takeoff and Departure

“…The real target of WakeScene-D, the determination of appropriate crosswind thresholds allowing for reduced aircraft separations, is the subject of ongoing work and will be documented in a future publication. The first application examples of the software package can be found in [9].…”

“…This is considered as a preliminary severity assessment. A corresponding concept called simplified hazard areas has been developed in [24] and adapted for takeoff and departure in [9]. Cases violating the area of interest can be subject to more detailed severity assessment, which is outside of the scope of WakeScene-D.…”

“…Here, we exemplarily perform a simple estimation of uncertainty for the most important parameter, which is lateral vortex transport, at a vortex generator height of about 50 m, which is within the most critical height range of 100 m above ground [1,9]. For B744 and A343 aircraft, the difference of predicted and measured standard deviations of lateral aircraft position amounts to ac 6:8 m. For these aircraft types, the median RMS deviation of measured and predicted wake-vortex positions employing the D2P model has been estimated to vort 19:2 m [20].…”

“…This Note describes the WakeScene-D software package (Wake Vortex Scenarios Simulation Package for Departure) that has been developed for comprehensive airspace simulations of takeoff and departure and the related wake-vortex-induced risks at Frankfurt airport [9]. Within CREDOS, WakeScene-D is used for the following:…”
