Preliminary Program of the First WakeNet

"Workshop on European Wake Vortex Research"

December 1,2 1998, ONERA, Chatillon Paris, France

 

The workshop intends to focus on the (practical) relations between the activities in the various area’s where the wake vortex problem is of concern. The program should be beneficial and attractive for participants from various disciplines. Reviews will be presented of critical aspects of the wake vortex problem from the understanding and prevention of wake vortices up to its effects on safety and airport operations. If at the end of the meeting the various disciplines have obtained a better view of what are still open questions and what is required from each other to solve the problem, one can be satisfied.

The Workshop will be informal to stimulate information exchange. Each of the reviewers is asked to bring sufficient copies of a ‘hand-out’ of the review. The ‘hand-outs’, together with the evaluators remarks and a summary of the discussions and conclusions will be used as the basis of a Technical Progress Report.

The Organising Committee is formed by the WakeNet Co-ordinating panel and Yves Aurenche who will be the local co-ordinator for ONERA. A.Elsenaar will have the overall co-ordination.
