A note on the shear-forced dynamics of tornadoes
Chanh Kieu
This note presents an axisymmetric model of a tornado-like vortex with internal vertical wind shear. By employing a prescribed incompressible circulation-strain flow that captures…
Detecting chaos in hurricane intensity
Chanh Kieu, Weiran Cai, Wai-Tong +1
Determining the maximum potential limit in the accuracy of hurricane intensity prediction is important for operational practice. Using the phase-space reconstruction method for hur…
Hitting Time of Rapid Intensification Onset in Hurricane-like Vortices
Wai-Tong Louis Fan, Chanh Kieu, Dimitrios Sakellariou +1
Predicting tropical cyclone (TC) rapid intensification (RI) is an important yet challenging task in current operational forecast due to our incomplete understanding of TC nonlinear…
On the Roles of the Secondary Circulation in the Formation of Hurricanes
Chanh Q. Kieu
Secondary circulations (SC) associated with hurricanes are traditionally regarded as small perturbations superimposed on the primary circulations (PC). The reason behind this treat…
An Analytical Theory for the Early Stage of the Development of Hurricanes: Part II
Chanh Q. Kieu
In this series of papers, an analytical theory for the early stage (tropical storm stage) of hurricane development is proposed. In Part I, a linear theory and a nonlinear theory ha…
An Analytical Theory for the Early Stage of the Development of Hurricanes: Part I
Chanh Q. Kieu
A theoretical formulation for the early stage (Tropical Storm stage) of hurricane development is proposed. These solutions are not only consistent with observations but also offer…
