A fast low-order computational approach is presented for estimating the aero-optic effect of the rotor tip vortex system on helicopter-borne optical systems. The approach employs prescribed-wake methods that have been developed by the helicopter design community to rapidly generate realistic approximations to the vortex-wake systems of helicopters in hover and forward flight. With the geometry of the vortex-wake system defined, an experimentally validated computational method that employs the isentropic assumption is then used to compute pressure, temperature, density, and index-of-refraction fields in the selected computational domain. Predictions determined using the computational approach for the spatially and temporally resolved aero-optic aberrations on an optical system mounted on a helicopter in hover and forward flight are presented.
