| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to investigate the properties of the flow field of a tornado-like flow, a tornado simulator with multi-fan, multi-vane and moving belt was developed to reproduce the moving state. As results of measurement by 3D-PIV, it was confirmed that three types of tornado-like flow of one cell, two cells and multi vortexes were stably generated, and the moving state can be reproduced. In addition, as a result of the flight analysis of debris in tornado-like flow generated by LES, it was found that the frequencies of occurrence of the arrival radius, the maximum tangential velocity, and so on, are similar to the normal distribution. This result says that the collision speed of debris in tornado-like flow can be set based on the exceedance probability. Furthermore, it was clarified that there is a certain relationship between the shape and scale of funnel cloud and the strength and scale of tornado.
