Beschreibung:
It is demonstrated that wing-tip vortices with buoyant cores can be made in a wind tunnel. Wing-tip vortices generated by an aircraft often become buoyant, because of heating effects due to the jet exhaust or in connection with a descending motion in a stable atmosphere. A description of wind-tunnel studies is given, taking into account the experimental conditions, the transition to turbulence, and the drift of the buoyant vortex. A computer simulation of wing-tip vortices is also discussed.
