A vortex tube is a mechanical device that separates compressed gas into cold and hot streams. It has no mechanical parts and is also known as the Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube.
A multiple vortex tornado has smaller, short-lived vortices moving around inside of it. The suction vortices have stronger winds than the rest of the tornado and are noted for cutting narrow curved swaths of intense damage. A multiple vortex tornado sometimes has the appearance of two or more tornadoes moving circles. A single vortex tornado is simply one vortex of tornadic wind.
vortices
A tornado is a kind of vortex, but there are other varieties of vortex with different driving mechanisms. A tornado is a vortex typically a few hundred to a few thousand feet wide that usually comes from a larger but less intense vortex called a mesocyclone, which is the result of a thunderstorm updraft interacting with wind shear. Large scale high and low pressure systems are also vortices driven by the Coriolis effect. You can also see a vortex in a draining pool of water.
A whirlpool is a kind of vortex. More specifically, a whirlpool is a vortex in water that can form from interacting currents. Different types of vortex can occur in air, water, or just about any liquid or gas.
That is the correct spelling of "whirlpool" (sea vortex).
No. A whirlpool is simply a vortex in water. A tornado is a very specific kind of vortex that by definition take place in air.

A Vortex ,A Turmoil...
no. a whirlpool is made up of currents and when a vortex (whirlpool's scientific name) reaches shallow water the currents will then release breaking down the vortex.
The difference is that eddy make wind, water change direction and vortex its just awhirlwind or whirlpool.
There is no such thing as an actual tornado underwater, as a tornado is, by definition, a vortex of air. However, a vortex underwater is called a whirlpool.

A vortex that forms in water is called a whirlpool.
maelstrom (whirlpool), though it should be noted that this should be called an underwater vortex as, by definition, a tornado is a vortex of air.
A pyramid. But the point where the triangular faces meet is a vertex, not a vortex. A vortex is a spinning mass of fluid like a whirlpool!
