Wake Vortex Effects on Parallel Runway Operations

James N. Hallock, Samuel Osgood, J. Konopka

Abstract

Aircraft wake vortex behavior in ground effect between two parallel runways at Frankfurt/Main International Airport was studied. The distance and time of vortex demise were examined as a function of crosswind, aircraft type, and a measure of atmospheric turbulence. Vortex decay in ground effect is little influenced by ambient turbulence and is seen to be a stochastic process.\n
