Large-eddy simulation of the wake past a realistic model airliner at cruise is presented. The near wake is resolved in a rectangular domain that extends through a distance of 3.33 times the wing span downstream from the wing tips. Dynamical properties of the trailing vortices and the jets are analyzed. The Moore–Saffman model is found consistent with the tangential velocity profiles obtained from the numerical simulation. Recommendations are made for the future far-wake modeling using the near-wake data as the initial condition.
