The generation of free concentrated air vortexes under laboratory conditions
Annotation
Video filming is used to investigate the dynamics of free concentrated vortexes which arise over a heated underlying surface as a result of unstable stratification of air. Various types of trajectories of motion of the base of vortex structures are revealed. Parameters are analyzed such as the temperature of underlying surface, the region of emergence of vortex structures, the lifetime, and the direction of motion, which define the type of trajectory of vortex base.
