Abstract:The pollution generated by the aircraft engines at the start of the take-off run is an important contributor to the local air quality in proximity to airports. The installation of an array of baffles in the runway strip behind the start of the runway, a configuration aiming to accelerate the lift-off of the exhaust plume, is numerically investigated. Validation tests are carried out in an effort to limit the computational cost. In this way, experimental data, including mean and RMS velocity profiles, as well a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
