Summary:This paper shows an experimental method to simulate micro down-bursts and micro tornados. They are born in a bubbling bath. Gas blowing from the bottom of water vessel generates vigorous turbulence upper region of the water. When a turbulent puff collides against the bottom wall, it spreads outward and causes strong rolling ups. Such flow conditions are similar to a stormy weather with micro down-bursts and tornados.
