Аннотация: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 high-resolution numerical simulations are used to provide
insights into the structure of dust-devil-like vortices and study the impact of surface roughness on them. The article concludes with an overview of the influence of lofted dust on the flow structure of dust devils and a discussion of open questions.
