i first encountered your simulation via Pecos Hank's channel a few years back and I have to say, the more and more tornado videos I see the more this all makes sense. It definitely changed the way I look at a tornado, how it forms and its complex anatomy.
Every time I watch or rewatch one of these I learn something I had missed before. My understanding of tornado genesis now vs. a decade ago aren't even similar. Keep up the great work!
I absolutely adore your research to the point that I was inspired to create an open chamber tornado simulator that replicated a lot that your simulation showed such as helical vortices AGL that touch the ground boundary layer before breaking down into some 6 sub-vortices. Absolutely love your work, especially as an aspiring computer scientist and data analyst.
It would be cool if you simulated what radar from the simulation would look like and compared it to the actual. Level 2 files have the exact time of each ray, so it is possible to do it precisely
Correct me if I'm wrong or missing something, but this vorticity animation (and another one on this channel) seems to indicate that, while cyclonic tornadoes follow a bottom-up formation process, the anticyclonic ones actually do form from cloud to ground. I'm probably incorrect , but I figured I'd point it out anyway.
"bottom up" and "top down" are false dichotomies and are poor descriptors of what I see going on in my simulations. Mergers of nontornadic vorticies are incredibly important and underappreciated.
I am very much an amateur when it comes to meteorological science. I stumbled upon your research many months ago after seeing your collaboration with @pecoshank and found it absolutely fascinating! You have an amazing capacity for explaining extremely complex information in a way that makes it possible for someone who isn't in the field to understand. I've watched a lot of your lectures, even some of the ones that cover more advanced subject matter, and I find this to always be true! Thanks for making this stuff accessible!
I sincerely appreciate your comments. I started out my academic career teaching at a small liberal arts college (UNC-Asheville) and went on to teach undergrads at Central Michigan University. I've always enjoyed teaching, but at this stage in my career I'm perfect where I am doing all research. RUclips is almost a guilty pleasure for me... I am glad it exists so I can share this cool stuff with everyone.
Wow this is awesome. Do we have simulations of a building supercell yet that leads to something like this? These storms have always been a curiosity to me. Another question is did you solve the io problem? Hopefully with SSDs it isn’t a problem now. I work in data storage too.
So…EVERY tornado seems to be a ‘multi-vortices’ vortex. Or a “Vortices Complex” may be a more accurate description? Evidence of this complexity is surely seen in the latest April 2024 IA footage captured by multiple chasers. Thanks for sharing your groundbreaking work! 🫡🥇

That is so freaking cool!!
Your simulations are so incredible and the visualizations of the physics are so entertaining!! Thank you for keeping them coming.
Thanks. I never thought my old stuff would have so much interest, that's good for me to know!
so glad to see you actively pumping out stuff! loving it
Yay! Love these videos!!

Very cool video.

you should do a visualization on the 31/5/2013 el reno tornado

where is the audio
