摘要
A mathematical analysis of the time-dependent, baroclinic, Boussinesq, Eliassen balanced model of tropical cyclone dynamics is presented. An efficient numerical method is developed to solve the equations in momentum coordinates with cylindrical symmetry. Computer simulations illustrate the effects of an experimental parameterization for the heating due to condensation. The model reproduces realistic characteristics of a tropical cyclone and provides a useful tool for analyzing the dynamic relationship between the energy influx due to latent heating and the vortex structure.
