🌪️ Tornado Vortex Dynamics (2D)

Canvas2D side-view companion to the 3D Tornado Vortex Dynamics scene: the same inverted-funnel radius curve and height-dependent rotation speed, with real sliders for wind speed, funnel width, rise rate and debris density.

This 2D companion ports the 3D scene's inverted-funnel radius curve (narrow near the ground, wide at the top) and its height-dependent rotation speed onto a flat side view, so the sliders that drive the math — wind speed, funnel width, rise rate, debris density — are visible controls instead of hidden constants.

⚙ Under the hood

Canvas2D funnel model: radius grows with height via a power-curve lerp, angular speed decays from base to top, and a ground dust ring and lightning flashes reuse the same timing logic as the 3D original.
