I am looking for information on different wake vortex models, in particular the Batchelor, or q-, type vortex. Does anybody know of some good reference material for this subject?

Thanks.

hello,
in our own work on wingtips at present we suggest the following categories of vortex wakes:
1. Munk-type vortex wakes; coming from wings with linear interference of spanload and trailing vortex wakes. comprising planar and non-planar wings
2. Non-Munk-types; caused by outer part of wing having strongly nonlinear interaction of spanload and free-force vortex wakes.
practically all literature only treats 1., 2. is only treated since 1996
if this is not an answer to your problem, pls restate your problem, have a nice time
