Crosswise Wind Shear Represented as a Ramped Velocity Profile Impacting a Forward-Moving Aircraft by Mahmood Khalid

“…While it would be difficult to model an instantaneous velocity gradient in a lateral plane, a vortical flow impinging from the sides which represents a wind shear in a vertical direction is imposed on a forward-moving aircraft to investigate the effect on the aerodynamic performance. The maximum shear wind speed from the side was fixed at 0.3 times the forward velocity. …”
