SODAR measurements of wing vortex strength and position
Journal Article
Bradley, S., Mursch-Radlgruber, E., & von Hünerbein, S. SODAR measurements of wing vortex strength and position. Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 24(2), 141-155. https://doi.org/10.1175/JTECH2037.1

A method is developed for robust real-time visualisation of aircraft vortex spatial and temporal development based on measurement data from a line array of SODARs. The method relies on using a potential-flow vortex model, with spatial averaging accor... Read More about SODAR measurements of wing vortex strength and position.
