Numerical solution of the flow structure in tornado-like vortices
Abstract
A numerical method is described for the solution of the full Navier-Stokes equations in cylindrical coordinates with azimuthal symmetry, particularly for fluid flow circumstances like those used in the laboratory for the simulation of tornado-like vortices. Only the computer technique is described here.
