Wake vortices in a simulation

Wake vortices in a simulation
Wake turbulence simulation for an Airbus A340 on final approach, just before touchdown. Below the aircraft, a 'Plate Line' can be seen. DLR has developed a globally unique method to simulate the flow around the aircraft with the creation of vortices, their further development and eventual dissipation. Here, the vortices are shown during their formation – prior to decay.
