Electromagnetic mechanisms of forming a tornado-like whirlwind
V. L. Natyaganov, S. A. Maslov Lomonosov Moscow State University, Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics
Abstract:
By the means of model approaches, the hypothesis of an important role of electromagnetic phenomena in the formation of tornado, or typhon according to Lomonosov's definition, is developed. A theoretical substantiation of forming the foamed liquid hill on the water surface under the tornado funnel sinking from the thundercloud is derived. A number of other effects accompanying the tornado formation and requiring the consideration of strong atmospheric electric field variations under the thundercloud are discussed.
Key words:
atmospheric vortex, tornado, funnel, thundercloud, atmospheric electric field, electro-vortex flows.
