Parameter-retrieval of dry-air wake vortices with a scanning Doppler Lidar
Abstract:
A wake vortex is a form of irregular airflow generated by a flying aircraft, which can cause a severe hazard for aviation. To quantify the hazard of a wake after fully roll-up and before rebound, this paper proposes an algorithm to retrieve its characteristic parameters (circulations, vortex-core positions, and vortex-core radii) with a scanning Doppler Lidar. In the algorithm, a governing equation related to the Doppler velocities and characteristic parameters is established based on the aerosols' weak inertia, from which the target parameters are solved with an optimization method. During the process, the distortion of Doppler velocity caused by the scanning of the Lidar beam is adjusted by the Doppler acceleration to achieve better estimations of the target characteristic parameters. Good performance of the algorithm has been verified by simulation and field detection data.
