Possible Implications of Self-Similarity for Tornadogenesis and Maintenance
Pavel Bělík, Brittany Dahl, Douglas Dokken +3
Self-similarity in tornadic and some non-tornadic supercell flows is studied and power laws relating various quantities in such flows are demonstrated. Magnitudes of the exponents…

Possible Implications of a Vortex Gas Model and Self-Similarity for Tornadogenesis and Maintenance
Douglas P. Dokken, Kurt Scholz, Mikhail M. Shvartsman +4
We describe tornadogenesis and maintenance using the 3-dimensional vortex gas model presented in Chorin (1994) and developed further in Flandoli and Gubinelli (2002). We suggest th…
