Abstract

We study dust vortices called dust devils and dynamics of dust in this structures. Dust devils are well formed relatively short-lived vortices that can appear over well heated surfaces like deserts and are clearly visible due to large amount of dust raised. Dust particles rotating in a flow bump and scrape each other and as a result particles obtain electric charges. Space separation of particles with opposite charges leads to generation of macroscopic electric field. We simulate dust dynamics with taking into account the electric field of the vortex.
