Summary description of the models used in the Vortex Forecast System (VFS) (original) (raw)

2005, Univ. Catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium

This document provides a brief description of the Vortex Forecast System (VFS) principles and the different models used. The VFS is a deterministic and operational wake vortex predictor (transport and decay) previously developed by an international team (partners from Russia (SABIGO), Canada and Belgium) under contract with Transport Canada (TC) and its Transportation Development Center (TDC). The VFS as it was at the end of the TC/TDC funded project is described in . It is continuously enhanced, also by research conducted at Université catholique de Louvain (UCL), Belgium, in the Division TERM (group of Prof. G. Winckelmans). This document presents the VFS version as of April 1 2005, thus including the improvements added by UCL after completion of the TC/TDC funded project. It was written for "open communication" purposes: so as to clearly explain the global approach and the models implemented so far.
