Contributor Bijl, H. (mentor) Faculty Aerospace Engineering Date 2007-12-10 Abstract The steady increase in air traffic creates a need for an increase in airport capacity. To achieve this we need to safely reduce existing separation standards. An important limiting factor in establishing required separation standards is the risk imposed by wake vortices. To determine the risk, the induced rolling moment plays a dominant role in safety analysis. The objective of the present study is to programme a reliable MathCADTM code based on the Vortex Lattice Method (VLM) to calculate the induced rolling moment on an aircraft during wake vortex encounters (WVEs). The code is named Chaos, because of the complexity of WVEs.
