Abstract

Wake separation is crucial to the security of aircraft landing, and is also an important factor of improving airport efficiency. The characteristics of near-field evolution of wake vortices is the foundation of the design of wake separation system. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to investigate the near-field evolution of wake vortices of domestic aircraft. In the present study, the effect of crosswind on the near-field evolution of wake vortices of ARJ21 plane, initialized by the lift-drag model, is analyzed by using the large eddy simulation based on adaptive mesh. The numerical results show that the evolution of the upstream vortex and downstream vortex is asymmetric. The downstream vortex decays more rapidly and translates farther than the upstream vortex, and the wake vortices decay more rapidly as the cross-wind gets stronger. In addition, the security of the following plane after ARJ21 is also analyzed based on the numerical results of the ARJ21 plane. It is found that the heavy plane is not affected by the wake vortices of ARJ21, whereas the medium-sized and light planes require adequate wake separation according to the weather condition.

Key words： ARJ21 plane; wake vortex; near-field evolution; crosswind; large eddy simulation; adaptive mesh
