SIMULATION CONDITIONS
Aircraft:
- B747, B737 cruise conditions
- initial conditions scaled from CDI's UNIWAKE
- initial ice crystal number: EI ice# = 1015 kg-1 (also 3.7x1013, 1012)
Atmospheric Variables:
- T = 220 K, P = 250 hPa, dq/dz = .0025 K/m
- turbulence field from separate LES (most without mean wind shear)
- constant RH ice within domain (102%, 110%, 120%, 130%)
Complements previous work:
(1) detailed wake dynamics but only passive tracer dispersion (e.g. Lewellen
and Lewellen; Gerz and Ehret)
(2) ice physics but simplified wake dynamics (e.g. Gierens; Chlond; Jensen
et al.; Sussmann & Gierens)
