Mathematical model of powerful tornado in the atmosphere

M. B. Gavrikov, A. A. Taiurskii


Abstract: The mathematical theory of powerful tornadoes in atmospheric air is constructed in the work, which allows one to arbitrarily accurately calculate the velocity of the air flow in the tornado and determine its funnel shape. Practical recommendations for predicting a tornado and its prevention are given. An elementary theory of cyclones and anticyclones is proposed. The performed constructions are generalized to the case of a tornado in a plasma subordinate to the equations of classical MHD. Using concrete examples, the influence of a magnetic field on the plasma dynamics in a tornado is considered.

Keywords: tornado, antitornado, powerful tornado, tornado profile, cyclone, anticyclone, magnetic tornado.
