A tornado can be idealized as a Rankine vortex with a core of diameter 30 m. See the description of a Rankine vortex In Fig. 11.A1. The gage pressure at a radius of 15 m is -2000 N/m² (that is, the absolute pressure is 2000 N/m2 below atmospheric). a. Show that the circulation around any circuit surrounding the core is 5485 m²/s. (Hint: apply the Bernoulli equation between infinity and the edge of the core.) b. Such a tornado is moving at a linear speed of 25 m/s relative to the ground. Find the time required for the gage pressure to drop from -500 N/m2 to -2000 N/m². Neglect compressibility effects and assume an air temperature of 25°C. (Note that the tornado causes a sudden decrease of the local atmospheric pressure. The damage to structures is often caused by the resulting pressure excess on the inside of the walls, which can cause a house to explode.) c. Be suitably impressed.

6.52 The motion of a liquid in an open tank is that of a combined vortex consisting of a forced vortex for 0 2 ft. The velocity profile and the corresponding shape of the free surface are shown in Fig. P6.52. The free surface at the cen- ter of the tank is a depth h below the free surface at r = o. Deter- mine the value of h. Note that h = hforeed + hiees where hforeed and hfree are the corresponding depths for the forced vortex and the free vortex, respectively.
