Abstract

The wake vortex consists mainly of two vortices, which are formed when the stream flows around the wings of an aircraft. A semi-empirical model of a stable vortex wake is proposed and analyzed. The model allows describing the velocity field in a vortex, depending on the characteristics of the aircraft generator, as well as assessing the effect of the vortex on the subsequent aircraft. Statistical modeling was carried out to determine the safe interval between the aircrafts for the characteristic sections of the trajectory. When moving over the sea, a straight-line route, a trajectory with turns and an ascent to an altitude for flying around the island were chosen; on the land section of the movement, a flight over the relief was simulated. A significant influence of the ruggedness of the relief on the probability of an aircraft falling when it enters a wake vortex is shown. The effect of the displacement of the aircraft trajectories in the vertical and horizontal planes and the increase in the average flight speed on the safe interval between the aircrafts is investigated.
