The Dependence of Core Radius on Swirl Ratio in a Tornado SimulatorSource: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences:;1973:;Volume( 030 ):;issue: 007::page 1427Author:Davies-Jones, Robert P.

Abstract: The nondimensional radius of the turbulent core in Ward's laboratory tornado model is shown to be primarily a function of swirl ratio alone. Thus, for given circulation and updraft radius, high-volume flow rate (but not necessarily high momentum flux) is required for the production of concentrated vortices.
