The Barrel of Ilmenau: A large-scale convection experiment to study dust devil-like flow structures.

We present an experimental facility for the validation of numerical simulations on atmospheric dust devils in a controlled laboratory experiment. Dust devils are atmospheric air vortices with a vertical axis, and are formed by intense solar radiation and the resulting vertical temperature gradient....
