Abstract: The results of high-resolution, fully three-dimensional, unsteady simulations of the interaction of a tornado with the surface are presented. The goal is to explore some of the range of structures that should be expected ...

Abstract: Since maximum Mach numbers in an F5 tornado are expected to, at least, reach ?0.4, a study was undertaken to determine the major potential compressibility effects in such flows. Results from compressible large-eddy simulations ...
