Turbulence models

Abstract

The subject of modeling turbulence for use with the JAWS wind shear data sets is addressed. The present FAA AC 120-41 wind shear models are quasisteady wind models. FAA recommends superimposing upon these winds a Dryden spectrum model of turbulence. For the JAWS data, it must be decided whether this approach is adequate or whether turbulence must be analyzed and modeled differently. This question is discussed in detail
