a tornado research project that measured wind speeds coming into an actual tornado and they use that data with Vortech. James and his research crew use real storm data to create an environment that is as close as possible to reality. Vortech is large enough for two SUVs to park back to back from one end of the simulator to the other. In order to simulate a model-scale EF3 tornado the fan speed on the simulator was set at 20 of its maximum speed and the vane angle was set at 75°. A tornado simulator was used to generate both translating and stationary. Therefore, the tornado simulator vane settings were chosen with the intention of simulating a tornado-like vortex that would resemble a tornado of EF3 intensity. Then (it became) bigger and bigger, until now this facility is actually about 35 feet in diameter." doi: 10.3389/fbuil.2017.00020 an examination of static Pressure and.

"This research started back in 1999, my first simulator could fit on a desk. 9 Figure 1: (a) ISU Tornado/Microburst Laboratory Simulator, (b) Flow visualization of the tornado in the Simulator showing the dynamic flow field. "This is a tornado simulator, we physically simulate tornadoes," said Dr. Darryl James works in the Wind Science and Engineering Center with this large machine called Vortech. Texas Tech also leads the way on researching a tornado's effect on buildings. Tornado was named the best flight simulation of 1993 by Computer.

Step 3) Observe carefully the types of damage and determine its strength. A 1:3 scaled Mini ISU Tornado Simulator version of the ISU Tornado Simulator was built to overcome the difficulty of visualizing the full vortex in the ISU. In a 1994 survey of wargames the magazine gave the title three-plus stars out. To find out more head to the NSSA website. The simulation will show the effect and damage of the tornado you just built.

Shelters not only are becoming more affordable, but in some instances the government will help pay for part of the cost, even for residential installations. "I'd say both the underground shelter and the above ground shelter would provide a high degree of protection and I would even say an equal degree of protection if it's built according to standards," said Dr.

Viewers at last year's Skywarn Six Weather Road Show wanted to know if there is a difference in protection between an underground shelter versus an above ground shelter, and there is no one better to ask than Dr. Above ground shelters are a product of the manufacturers creativity over the past decade. In this tornado simulator, the fastest wind speed is 220 miles per hour, but tornadoes wind speeds can be as high as 300 miles per hour.
