In order to achieve the wake vortex warning for assuring flight security and increasing airport capacity,the characteristics of aircraft wake vortex and lidar detection technique were researched.The mechanism of wake vortex generated by aircraft was introduced,and its characteristics were studied through analytic model and simulated computation.The principle and scheme of wake vortex detection by coherent Doppler lidar were presented,and the Doppler spectrum characteristics of laser echo created by wake vortex were also analyzed.Meanwhile,the detection precision of wake vortex was calculated.The results show that the wake vortex strength and the decay characteristics are relative to aircraft mass.The Doppler spectrum value of laser echo is inversely proportional to the cube of Doppler shift and the square of flight velocity,but directly proportional to the square of aircraft mass.Moreover,the wake vortex detection based on 1.5 m pulsed coherent Doppler lidar has advantages of high precision and long range.With the field experiment,the potential of Doppler lidar for wake vortex detection has been demonstrated,which has excellent performance.
