Abstract

The study on the wake vortex behavior during the aircraft's take-off and landing flight phase is critical to the flight safety of the aircraft, following close behind and the economy of the airport. The study on the wake vortex behavior should include the understanding of the ground effect on the behavior of the multiple wake vortices, generated from aircraft during the take-off and landing flight phase. In thia study, numerical schemes that can consider the ground effect were devised, by applying a vorticity boundary condition and an image method into the existing two-dimensional Fourier-spectral method. The present method was validated by comparing the present results, with the computed and measured data in the published literature. It was shown that the present method can predict the generation and behavior of the secondary vortex near the ground with reasonable accuracy. In future, the effect of the atmospheric conditions such as the stratification and the wind shear on the behavior of the vortex pair will be studied.

이·착륙하는 항공기에서 발생하는 후류의 거동에 대한 연구는 근접 후행 항공기의 비행안정성과 공항의 경제성 등과 관련하여 매우 중요하다. 특히 이착륙 비행단계에서 발생한 와들의 거동 연구는 지면효과가 반드시 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 2차원 스펙트럴법에 와도경계조건 및 이미지법을 적용하여, 지면효과가 고려될 수 있는 수치해법을 도출하였다. 개선된 수치기법을 사용하여 얻은 결과를 참고문헌의 수치해석 결과 및 실험결과와 비교하여 타당성을 검증하였다. 특히, 본 연구의 수치해석방법으로 지면근처에서 발생하는 이차와(secondary vortex)의 생성과 박리, 그리고 거동을 예측할 수 있음을 보였다. 향후 본 연구방법을 확장하여 Stratification, Wind Shear 등 다양한 기상조건이 와의 거동에 미치는 영향을 연구할 계획이다.
