TASS Driven Algorithms for Wake Prediction

The TASS Driven Algorithms for Wake Prediction (TDAWP) is a simple set of algorithms engineered from results of three-dimensional large eddy simulations of wake vortices. The model consists of two equations, one for the prediction of vortex transport and a second for wake vortex decay. The model is designed for real-time predictions of wake vortex position and strength, and is dependent upon, weather conditions. A detailed description of TDAWP, including validation with field data, is included.
