Behaviors of Vortex Wake in Random Atmospheric Turbulence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Atmospheric turbulence has significant influences on both the trajectories and strengths of wake vortices. In this paper, a quasi-wavelet method is used to generate a random atmospheric turbulence field based on the von Kármán spectrum, in which atmospheric turbulence is represented by groups of random eddies. An inviscid wake vortex system, out-of-ground effect or in-ground effect, is immersed in the generated turbulence background to study the effects of random turbulence on wake vortices. The simulated wake trajectories are compared with literature data from several current prediction models as well as from field measurement.

Direct Numerical Simulation of the Wake Flow Behind a Cylinder Using Random Vortex Method in Medium to High Reynolds Numbers
Direct numerical simulation of turbulent flow behind a cylinder, wake flow, using the random vortex method for an incompressible fluid in two dimensions is presented. In the random vortex method, the primary variable is vorticity of the flow field. After generation on the cylinder wall, it is followed in two fractional time step in a Lagrangian system of coordinates, namely convection and diffu...

Direct numerical simulation of the wake flow around and behind a planar ellipse using a random vortex method is presented. Fluid is considered incompressible and the aspect ratios of ellipse and the angles of attacks are varied. This geometry can be a logical prelude to the more complex geometries, but less time dependent experimental measurements are available to validate the numerical results...
متن کاملDynamic wind loads and wake characteristics of a wind turbine model in an atmospheric boundary layer wind
An experimental study was conducted to characterize the dynamic wind loads and evolution of the unsteady vortex and turbulent flow structures in the near wake of a horizontal axis wind turbine model placed in an atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel. In addition to measuring dynamic wind loads (i.e., aerodynamic forces and bending moments) acting on the wind turbine model by using a high-sensi...
متن کاملTechnical Report Standard Title
Potential adaptive wake vortex spacing systems may need to rely on wake vortex decay rather than wake vortex transport in reducing wake separations. Awake vortex takeoff-spacing system in particular will need to rely on wake decay. Ambient turbulence is the primary influence on wake decay away from the ground. This study evaluated 18 months of ambient turbulence measurements at Dallas/F't. Wort...

An experimental study is conducted to characterize the dynamic wind loads and evolution of the turbulent vortex and flow structures in the wake of a horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT). In addition to measuring dynamic wind loads (both aerodynamic forces and moments) acting on a wind turbine model, a high-resolution Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system was used to make “free-run” and phase-l...
