Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 14P
Consider a tornado as air moving in a circular pattern in the horizontal plane. If the wind speed is 200 mph and the diameter of the tornado is 200 ft, determine the radial pressure gradient. If it is desired to model the tornado using water in a 6 in. diameter tube, what speed is needed to give the same radial pressure gradient?
