TURBULENCE MODELS

An example of the analyses of the B-57 Gust Gradient data for Flight 6, Run
3 is given in the appendix to this paper. This is the format in which the data
will be available. For further details on the data, contact Dennis Camp at NASA
Marshall Space Flight Center.
I would like to address the subject of modeling turbulence for use with the
JAWS wind shear data sets. The present FAA AC 120-41 wind shear models (reference
I) are quasisteady wind models. FAA recommends superimposing upon these winds a
Dryden spectrum model of turbulence. For the JAWS data, we have to decide whether
this approach is adequate or whether we need to analyze and model turbulence dif-
ferently.
The question is why do we need turbulence for the JAWS data set? In looking
at scaled drawings of a B-727-type aircraft inside of a typical volume element of
the size sensed by the Doppler radar (figure I), the volume element is seen to
engulf the airplane. A typical volume element or range gate probed by a Doppler
radar is about 150 m in length and spreads out cylindrically with distance from
the radar. Any atmospheric motion less than the volume element in size is averaged
out of the radar signal. In addition, the data are transferred to a spatial grid
that is about 200 m by 200 m. The 200 m grid size scaled relative to the dimensions
fo various types of aircraft is shown in Figure 2. One observes that even the
biggest airplane, the B-747, occupies only a small part of the volume element.
Thus, there are atmospheric disturbances going on within the volume element that
are relatively large compared to the aircraft, but that are smoothed out by the
averaging process.
For discussion purposes, say that the typical grid scale for the JAWS data
set is 200 m. The spatial sampling frequency is thus 1/200 m-I. The Nyquist
frequency is then 1/400 m-I. Assuming an airspeed of 80 m/s, the temporal fre-
quency is then approximately 0.2 Hz. This means that any disturbances less than
the grid spacing in spatial scale, or higher than roughly 0.2 Hz frequency, is
not contained in the JAWS data set. Figure 3 shows that the phugoid frequency
is typically less than the 10 -2 Hz, so most effects on the order of the phugoid
frequency a_e contained in the JAWS data set. The short period frequency are
between I0 -_ and 0.5 Hz. Therefore, some short period disturbances are contain-
ed in the JAWS data. For simulation of structural effects, however, high-fre-
quency turbulence must be superimposed upon the JAWS data. In Figure 3, the one-
dimensional von Karman longitudinal o11, and lateral, 022, spectra are plotted
along with the three-dimensional energy spectrum, E. I_ is observed that for
very large length scales, there is not much turbulence energy beyond the JAWS
cutoff frequency. The question is how to model turbulence contained in the high-
er frequency range.

The effect of turbulence is not likely to appreciably influence the trajec-
tory of the aircraft; however, it may have appreciable effect on handling quali-
ties and pilot workload.
Typically, turbulence models use the point mass assumption that the aircraft
is totally immersed in the turbulence. The point mass assumption is sometimes
enhanced by assuming a linear gradient of gust velocities. This sometimes leads
people to believe that the linear gradients of the JAWS data are also included in
their wind shear models. The two gradient terms are different things, however,
as will be described later. Also models have been developed which provide span-
wise gust gradients across the airfoil. These could be used in simulation but
are relatively complex mathematical models and are not likely in use at this time.
Warren Campbell at Marshall Space Flight Center has proposed a three-dimensional
turbulence model (reference 2).

generate these in the earth coordinate system based on appropriate wind models,
add them to the mean winds or quasi-steady winds, and transfer the total wind
speed components back to the body axis, you should have no trouble. Now consider
the rotational turbulence componens shwon in Figure 6, pq, qg, and rq. In com-
puting these components, you must be careful. If a spectrum for turSulence gra-
dients is used (see Figure 6) then your analysis will depend upon how it was
measured. Since qa and ra are correlated with wa and vn, respectively, the WQ
and v a components _ust be_obtained by transforming from_the earth frame of ge_-
eratidn to the body frame before qg and rg are computed.
Figure 4 clearly indicates that the turbulence is not uniform over the air-
foil although the basic models currently in use make this assumption. Some
attempts at modeling spanwise gust variation have been investigated. One approach
is illustrated in Figure 7. Basically, this approach consists of calculating the
lift as a function of time by using the indicial function n(y,t). The indicial
function gives the lift response of the wing due to a sinusoidal gust occurring
at position y along the wing, and at corresponding time, t. After carrying out
the operations shown in Figure 7, you end up with the spectrum of the lift. The
expression of the spectrum of the lift, however, contains the cross-correlation
or two-point spectrum. This is normally developed assuming isotropic homogenous
turbulence. The reason for the NASA B-57 Gust Gradient Program is to provide
additional information relative to the two-point spectrum or distribution of
gusts acress the airfoil. By using the spectrum of lift to model your filter and
passing a white noise through this filter, you can generate a random lift with
gust variations across the wing as a function of time. Similar approaches could
be made for rolling moments, yawing moments, etc. This approach is very time
consuming, however, and I do not believe that it is used in any operational flight
simulator at present. Moreover, the spectrum is not only a function of the wind
or atmospheric conditions, but also of the airplane dynamics, or of n(y,t), which
is the lift characteristic of the airfoil.

problem of control inputs in making such a comparison. The gust gradient aircraft
has now been equipped with control input measuring devices, and hence, we can make
comparisons of computed control inputs relative to actual control inputs by the
pilot. On a statistical basis, we are getting excellent agreement between the
measured and computed results. The development of this system for utilization in
operational flight simulators will provide more realistic simulation of roll and
yaw motions.
A final model of turbulence proposed for imposing the small scales of turbu-
lent motion into the JAWS data sets is a three-dimensional turbulence model de-
veloped by Warren Campbell (reference 2). The concept inputs three-dimensional
white noise into a filter. The filter is a three-dimensional spectrum model
which can be either the von Karman or the Dryden spectrum. Campbell utilizes
the von Karman spectra, which results in homogeneous isotropic turbulence, but
fully three-dimensional. Application of the model to the JAWS data is based
on establishing a smaller grid within each grid element of the JAWS data set.
As an illustration, Campbell has utilized I0 m grid spacings for his turbu-
lence model (within the 200 m by 200 m JAWS grid, you impose internally a
I0 m by I0 m grid). Turbulence, which Campbell refers to as frozen (i.e.,
not varying with time, but varying spatially) is computed for each grid
point within the large JAWS grid volume element.

one utilize in the simulation model? We do not have a good handle on length
scales for turbulence associated with a microburst. Thus, a number of questions
remain unanswered relative to developing a turbulence model to superimpose upon
the quasi-steady JAWS data winds.
