Towards the development of analytical tornado-like models

In this paper, we analyze and develop modifications to two well-known analytical tornado-like models. First, the vortex sink with axial flow (VSAF) model is compared with results obtained from the vortex generator. It is shown that in a cylindrical coordinate system a secondary circulation at the to...
