Review of Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics And Statistical Mechanics of Vortex Gases in Tornado Theory
Pavel Bělík, Douglas P. Dokken, Mikhail M. Shvartsman
This work puts into mathematical, statistical mechanical, and thermodynamical context the initial stages of the genesis of tornado-like vortices with the aim to be consistent with…

On the axisymmetric steady incompressible Beltrami flows
Pavel Bělík, Xueqing Su, Douglas P. Dokken +2
In this paper, Beltrami vector fields in several orthogonal coordinate systems are obtained analytically and numerically. Specifically, axisymmetric incompressible inviscid steady…

Applications of vortex gas models to tornadogenesis and maintenance
Pavel Bělík, Douglas P. Dokken, Corey K. Potvin +2
Processes related to the production of vorticity in the forward and rear flank downdrafts and their interaction with the boundary layer are thought to play a role in tornadogenesis…
