Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a rapid inversion method for aircraft wake vortex parameters based on mobile platform laser remote sensing, belonging to the field of aviation safety meteorological support. Background Technology

[0002] The airplane, one of the most significant inventions of the early 20th century, spurred the development of the air transport industry and transformed human transportation, economy, production, and daily life. Consequently, aviation safety has gradually become a focus of attention. The lift generated by an aircraft, specifically the wake vortex at the wing, is invisible to the naked eye and has a wide impact range. When a following aircraft inadvertently enters the wake vortex of a preceding aircraft, the rolling torque makes it difficult to control. With the advent of heavy aircraft, especially the B747-100, the aviation safety issues caused by aircraft wake vortices have become undeniable. Therefore, effective monitoring of aircraft wake vortices is necessary. Rapidly and accurately obtaining information on the location and intensity of aircraft wake vortices not only helps ensure flight safety but also improves airport runway utilization and facilitates air traffic management. In particular, monitoring aircraft wake vortices during flight provides a scientifically reliable basis for optimizing flight paths and can further improve the collaborative capabilities of aircraft.

[0003] Currently, among ground-based wind speed sensors, coherent Doppler pulsed lidar has become the ideal detection device for aircraft wake vortices under clear-sky conditions due to its advantages such as eye safety, high spatiotemporal resolution, and high precision. Meanwhile, through the joint efforts of experts and scholars both domestically and internationally, several methods have been proposed, including the maximum likelihood method (Frehlich et al., 2005), the tangential velocity adaptive spectrum method based on pulsed lidar systems (Hadi S et al., 2011), the radial velocity method for estimating aircraft wake vortex parameters using data measured by coherent Doppler lidar (Smalikho et al., 2015), the path integral method (Li Jianbing et al., 2020), and the localization and classification of aircraft wake vortices observed by lidar based on convolutional neural networks (Zhang Xinyu, 2024). These methods have continuously improved the accuracy and speed of extracting aircraft wake vortex characteristic parameter information from lidar spectral data. Effective monitoring of aircraft wake vortices in near-ground airport environments is no longer a challenge. However, when observation equipment is mounted on a mobile platform, such as an aircraft, the structural integrity of the aircraft wake vortex and the data density of the detection space cannot be guaranteed due to the complexity of the aircraft wake vortex, the limitations of observation technology, and the special nature of the monitoring environment. Currently, research on monitoring equipment, monitoring methods, and inversion methods for aircraft wake vortices on mobile platforms is still in the experimental stage.

[0004] Therefore, in response to the need for real-time detection of aircraft wake vortices in collaborative aircraft operations, and the current situation of insufficient detection methods and capabilities for high-altitude wake vortices, this paper utilizes laser remote sensing technology based on a mobile platform to quickly and effectively detect the wind field around the aircraft. This enables the rapid extraction and evaluation of aircraft wake vortex parameter information, providing reliable data support for flight path optimization and navigation safety, and promoting the development of the blue sky economy.

In addition to the idealized aircraft wake vortex model, the aircraft wake vortex dissipation and transport model can also be used.

[0017] The main advantages of this invention compared to existing methods are: 1. Building upon existing research on aircraft wake vortices, this study reconstructs actual aircraft wake vortices using an idealized model and establishes a correlation between the aircraft wake vortex circulation and the radial velocity measured by lidar. Least squares fitting is performed using sampling points at multiple locations to reduce turbulence interference and mitigate the impact of reduced data density in the detection space and incomplete wake vortex structure on the detection results.

[0018] 2. Breaking through the limitations of traditional RHI (Radar Induction Heliographies) observation modes for aircraft wake vortices, the scanning methods are more diverse, reducing measurement errors caused by the movement of wake vortices during lidar scanning. Furthermore, it can assess the position and intensity of aircraft wake vortices not only from complete wake vortex segments, significantly improving the speed of acquiring characteristic parameters. Simultaneously, it utilizes changes in the circulation of the aircraft wake vortex to correct the position of the vortex core, further improving the accuracy of wake vortex core localization.

C 1, C 2) The optimal estimate. The range of the aircraft wake vortex circulation intensity value obtained by the solution is limited to [0, 1000] (this intensity range can be adjusted by the theoretical calculation formula of the initial wake vortex intensity).

The wake vortex position information at this time is as follows: Figure 5 As shown. After adjustment, the vertical height difference between the left and right vortex cores is smaller. Closer heights indicate better vortex core symmetry and a more physically accurate positioning (such as the symmetry assumption of the wake vortex), reducing inversion errors caused by height deviations. Furthermore, the circulations are closer, consistent with the characteristic of similar wake vortex intensities. In addition, from Figure 5 It is evident that this method is more suitable for parameters at the current vortex scale. Therefore, the method presented in this paper can effectively achieve accurate inversion and correction of aircraft wake vortex parameters, providing scientific and reliable data support for aviation safety and aircraft collaborative operations.

Simulation results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown.

Select the aircraft wake vortex core position and wake vortex circulation value at the maximum Q value as the output. The coordinates of the wake vortex core position at this time are ( X 1, Y 1, X 2, Y 2) Corresponding to (495, 23, 532, 18), circulation value ( C 1, C2) The corresponding value is (256, 277).
