Mathematical modeling is the most important tool for constructing the theory of concentrated
tornado-like vortices. A review and analysis of computational and theoretical works devoted …

The process of debris initialisation is examined for two tornado-like vortices with swirl ratios
(S) of 0.3 and 0.7. The vortices were modelled using Large-eddy Simulation and the motion …

Tornado vortices are investigated using large-eddy simulations of a single vortex evolving
into a multi-vortex. Four typical tornado configurations, including a weak vortex, a vortex …

The numerical simulation by LES turbulent model for translating tornadoes and those over
roughness was carried out in a Ward type simulator. The tornado translation was modeled …

龙卷风是一种大型气旋流动, 具有很强的破坏力, 是抗风减灾工程中重点防范对象之一.
现有龙卷风研究多集中于低矮建筑或输电线塔等结构, 对作用于城市高层建筑结构的龙卷风流动 …

Wandering of tornado-like vortices consists in random oscillations of the vortex core from its
time-averaged position, which complicates efforts to characterize vortex characteristics. A …

This paper presents the numerical study on the flight behaviour of spherical compact debris
in a tornado-like wind field. The tornado-like vortex corresponding to a swirl ratio of 0.7 was …

Debris in tornado is one of the factors causing damages. However, it is difficult to model the
debris in physical experiments using the available scaled tornado simulators. Numerical …

Tornado-borne debris is one of the most important factors in tornado-induced building
damage. However, the aerodynamic characteristics of tornado-borne debris and the effects …

Due to the incredible property loss and significant fatalities induced by tornadoes each year,
tornado research has attracted considerable attention. However, previous studies mainly …
