Modeling of wake-vortex detection by a ground-based fiber lidar system

The aim of this chapter is twofold. On the one hand, it describes a complete simulation method to evaluate the performance of a Doppler LIDAR for aircraft wake vortices detection near the ground. The principal interest of the simulation presented here is to combine a LASER beam propagation methodwith fluid dynamics simulations. On the other hand, it proposes effective wind velocity map reconstruction algorithms
