A vortex generator is an aerodynamic surface, consisting of a small vane that creates a vortex. Some surfaces on an airplane can result in air flow separating from the surface or skin. A vortex generator creates a tip vortex which draws energetic, rapidly-moving air from outside the slow-moving boundary layer into contact with the aircraft skin. This keeps the flow close to the aircraft surfaces.
Vortex generators delay flow separation and aerodynamic stalling; they improve the effectiveness of control surfaces.
You may see vortex generators as a row of small vanes that are mounted in a row along a tail surface.
What else can I help you with?
Does every tornado have a vortex?
Yes, every tornado has a vortex, which is the rapidly rotating column of air that extends from the base of the storm clouds to the ground. This vortex is what causes the destructive winds associated with tornadoes.
A violent windstorm that forms a rotating column of air called a vortex is a?
tornado
What is a whirling circular mass of air and water in the center of a tornado?
Oh, dude, you're talking about the eye of the tornado! It's like this intense swirling vortex at the center of the storm where things get all calm and peaceful... just kidding, it's actually where all the chaos and destruction is happening. So, yeah, it's basically the epicenter of the tornado, where things are spinning like crazy.
Can a tornado happen in water?
They can, but they do not need to. Tornadoes formed by meachanisms within a thunderstorm and are not dependent when whther the storm is over or near water. The state with the highest number of tornadoes per area unit is Kansas, which does not have any bodies of water more significant than some rivers and small lakes.
What is a mass of spinning rising air that may produce a tornado?
I think the word you're looking for is "vortex".
Is a whirlpool a underwater tornado?
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.
What is water in a shape of a tornado called?
A vortex that forms in water is called a whirlpool.
What causes water spouts?
when a tornado goes to a ocean (usually) and water goes to its VORTEX
Is a vortex like a tornado?
A tornado is a kind of vortex so yes, in some ways.
What is the relationship with tornado and vortex?
A tornado is itself a kind of vortex, and can have smaller vortices inside of it.
When the funnel of a tornado passes over a body of water what is found?
A tornado on water is called a waterspout. You will find a spray of water where the vortex reaches the surface.
Does every tornado have a vortex?
Yes, every tornado has a vortex, which is the rapidly rotating column of air that extends from the base of the storm clouds to the ground. This vortex is what causes the destructive winds associated with tornadoes.
What do you call a tornado that occurs under water?
There is no such thing. A vortex that develops in water and may bear some visual resemblance to a tornado is called a whirlpool.
What is a vortex related to tornado?
A vortex is a spinning or rotating movement in a liquid or gas. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air and thus is a type of vortex.
What does A vortex have to do with an tornado?
A vortex is a spinning flow of air or liquid. In a tornado, a vortex forms when warm, moist air meets cool, dry air, creating a rotating column of air that extends from the base of the storm cloud to the ground. This rotating vortex is what gives a tornado its destructive power.
What is the difference between a multiple vortex tornado and a single vortex tornado?
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.
What country calls tornadoes suction vortexes?
No country does. A suction vortex is not a tornado; it is a feature that can develop in a tornado. A tornado itself is a vortex but can sometimes contain smaller vortices (vortexes) called suction vortices. Such a storm is called a multiple-vortex tornado.
