Abstract

Stimulated by recent developments in understanding tropical cyclones, we offer an evaluation of an analytical model that has been proposed to explain the rapid intensification of these storms. We articulate a number of concerns with this model, including the neglect of both the vertical momentum equation and the thermodynamic equation, and conclude that it falls a little short of achieving its stated aims.

## Abstract The nonlinearity and complexity of the primitive equations have been key obstacles to our understanding of tropical cyclones (TCs), particularly in relation to the dynamical processes leading to their rapid intensification. In this study, an axisymmetric model, in which all nonlinear te

An analytical model was developed to predict the fractional efficiency of a uniflow cyclone with a tangential inlet. The analysis showed that the separation efficiency is a function of particle Stokes number and the geometry of the cyclone body. Six sets of experiments were conducted under different
