Abstract
An experimental study on the formation and development of the vortex wake behind a small scale transport aircraft model is presented. The data comprises LDV and hot wire measurements including two-point correlations. Steady and unsteady properties of the wake have been characterised for two cases, a high lift and a clean configuration of the model. The analysis particularly focuses on the unsteady properties of the vortices which are subjected to meandering. The discussion addresses elements that contribute to a better understanding of this phenomenon.
