Debris clouds provide an important visual signature of tornadoes and can potentially significantly affect the wind structure, damage potential, and Doppler radar measurements of tornado wind speeds. To study such issues, the dynamics of finescale deb

An idealized analytical model and numerical large-eddy simulations are used to explore fluid-dynamic mechanisms by which tornadoes may be intensified near the surface relative to conditions aloft. The analytical model generalizes a simple model of Ba

Results are presented from a large set of large-eddy simulations of a class of unsteady vortex evolution that may sometimes play a role in tornadogenesis or tornado variability. Beginning with a high-swirl parent vortex with an excess of low-swirl fl

The modeling of the buoyancy flux in a partly cloudy atmospheric boundary layer is complicated by its dependence on the correlation between clouds and vertical velocity elements, which can vary significantly with the underlying layer dynamics (e.g.,

Since maximum Mach numbers in an F5 tornado are expected to, at least, reach ∼0.4, a study was undertaken to determine the major potential compressibility effects in such flows. Results from compressible large-eddy simulations of tornado corner flo

An idealized model of the relationship between entrainment in cloud-topped boundary layers, circulation structure, and the degree of decoupling between the cloud and subcloud layers is developed based on simple turbulent flux distributions and the pr

High-resolution numerical large-eddy simulations of the near wake of a B757 including simplified NOx and HOx chemistry were performed to explore the effects of dynamics on chemistry in wakes of ages from a few seconds to several minutes. Dilution pla

Results of large-eddy simulations of the development of young persistent ice contrails are presented, concentrating on the interactions between the aircraft wake dynamics and the ice cloud evolution over ages front a few seconds to approx. 30 min. Th

The results of high-resolution, fully three-dimensional, unsteady simulations of the interaction of a tornado with the surface are presented. The goal is to explore some of the range of structures that should be expected to occur in nature within the

Results of large-eddy simulations of an aircraft wake are compared with results from ground-based lidar measurements made at NASA Langley Research Center during the Subsonic Assessment Near-Field Interaction Flight Experiment field tests. Brief revie
