Jeez, let's get some of this terminology sorted!


Turbulent Wake - Created by any moving object, especially blunt ones - e.g. a lorry stonking down the highway.

Vortex Wake - a direct consequence of an aerofoil generating lift.

Jet Blast - that's the hot stuff coming out the rear of a jet engine.
