    Dust Devil Steady-State Structure from a Fluid Dynamics Perspective

    Simple analytical models for the flow structure of dust devils in steady state, and a “thermophysical” scaling theory that explains how these flow structures are maintained are reviewed. Then, results from hig...

    Large-Eddy Simulations of Dust Devils and Convective Vortices

    In this review, we address the use of numerical computations called Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) to study dust devils, and the more general class of atmospheric phenomena they belong to (convective vortices). ...
