| Description | The DFVLR laser Doppler anemometer is a CO2 continuous wave homodyne system designed for boundary layer wind measurements. During the last three years, it was mainly used in the wake-vortex program at Frankfurt airport for determination of vortex strength, transport, and lifetime. The strategy for that special type of measurement was previously reported in detail along with single experimental results. Therefore, herein is given a short summary of the data concerning questions of air traffic control. In addition to the experimental activities a computer model describing wake-vortex behavior was installed. It allows the comparison of the measured data with the hydrodynamically predicted quantities. On the other hand, it leads to an improved procedure for future wake-vortex measurements. |
