Development of aircraft’s wake vortex from the roll-up until vortex decay is studied. An aircraft model and a surrounding flow field obtained from high-fidelity Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes simulation are swept through a ground fixed computational domain to initialize the wake. After the initialization, large-eddy simulation of the vortical wake is performed until vortex decay, i.e., 2-3 minutes after the passage of aircraft. Here, the methodology and some results from the simulations using the DLR-F6 wing-body model are presented.
