- <p>This article presents the <strong>Audrey Vacuum Flip Hypothesis (AVFH)</strong> and <strong>Vacuum Pursuit Drift (VPD)</strong> as a new, physics-based framework for tornado touchdown and irregular motion. The AVFH model proposes that rapid surface cooling following intense updrafts creates a localized pressure vacuum, initiating downward vortex acceleration. The VPD model reframes tornado movement as a reactive drift toward remaining surface energy gradients, rather than passive advection by steering winds.</p> <p>We support these claims with atmospheric equations, visual simulations, and an empirical case study of the 2011 Joplin EF-5 tornado. Two stress-tested simulations show how a vortex navigates energy fields via suction and depletion. This theory uses only classical thermodynamics and fluid dynamics, and is designed for further validation via CFD, radar, or mesonet data.</p> <p>Includes:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Full LaTeX source (.zip) with embedded figures</p> </li> <li> <p>README and license</p> </li> <li> <p>Simulations of VPD behavior and pressure-induced vortex descent</p> </li> </ul>
