Abstract
The goal of this thesis is to provide a detailed examination of the vertical and tangential velocity profiles within the supercritical core of a vortex for a wide range of swirl ratios and surface roughness. This is possible due to the development of an innovative analytical procedure and its application to high quality experimental data that was previously obtained in the Miami University Tornado Vortex Chamber.
