Overview of wind gust modelling with application to autonomous low-level UAV control / prepared by J. Etele, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, Carleton University ; project manager, Giovanni...: D68-3/221-2006E-PDF
"The current trend towards the increasing use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) has renewed the interest in gust modelling by virtue of the differences between the effects of wind gusts on traditional aircraft and UAVs. ... This report contains information relating to the description, modelling, and impact of gusts as they pertain to aircraft. Special attention is given to the nature of atmospheric disturbances near the ground which are of significant importance to low level flying Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAV). ... The three main sections in this report each deal with a specific aspect of the nature of the problem addressed. The first describes the atmosphere in general so that one is able to understand the context in which a gust exists. The second describes the nature of a gust, both in a discrete, single event sense, and as part of the broader spectrum of turbulence in general. The final section relates the modelling of a gust to its incorporation into modern control algorithm design."--Executive summary, page iii.
