Abstract

This paper evaluates the wake vortex characteristics using pulsed coherent Doppler lidar (PCDL) under near-ground effect (NGE). A wake vortex visualization demonstrator (V2D) is developed in order to visualize wake vortex in real-time. The combination of radial velocity distribution and FFT spectrum characterization are used to identify the core position of wake vortex. The velocity envelope and Burnham-Hallock model correction are used to retrieve the circulation of wake vortex under NGE. The circulation error, which is caused by PCDL scanning mode, is simulated and corrected. To investigate the dissipation rate's effect on wake vortex in real atmosphere, the cross wind and atmospheric turbulence are concurrently retrieved from the same measurement of wake vortex by using structure function. The statistics of wake vortex parameters are analyzed, based on the measurement campaign at Beijing Capital International Airport (BCIA) in 2017.
