Marcus,
The result looks so much like iconic tornado vids that we wannabee tornado chasers idolize that one suspects that the video was back constructed from that film, rather than developing organically from the physics.

The video came from a different specialist in visualization, Greg Foss: https://www.nsf.gov/news/news_images.jsp?cntn_id=134516 <https://www.nsf.gov/news/news_images.jsp?cntn_id=134516&org=NSF> &org=NSF Here’s apparently a standard code used to study tornados, there’s a list of users and their publications and the governing equations. https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/people/bryan/cm1/ Should you take any of this seriously? Well, read the papers and decide. Is it the fact there is some eye candy causing you to doubt that there is science behind it?
