Abstract

The effect of energy distribution of turbulent vortices in atmosphere on the evolution of wake vortices is studied using the numerical simulation approach. Solution-Based Dynamic adaptive mesh method is applied to compute the wake vortex evolution using FLUENT. Two series of cases are designed to study the role of larger and small-scale vortices in the decay of wake vortex, respectively. The results show that energy distribution of different scale vortices has a significant effect on the onset time of vortex linking and the decay rate of wake vortices at the turbulent diffusion phase and fast decay phase.
