Abstract:

This study is concerned with Monte Carlo simulation for three dimensional field of atmospheric turbulence, in view of correlation function matrix. This atmospheric turbulence field, which is homogeneous and isotropic, is identical with the Dryden model by theoretical proof and numerical test. This 3 D field could be used for aircraft flights simulation, especially for simulation of several aircraft flights in atmospheric turbulence (such as air refueling and formation flight).
