摘要: The steady axis-symmetrical atmosphere dynamical equations are used for describing spiral structure of tropical cyclones under four-force (pressure gradient force, Coriolis force, centrifugal force, and friction force) balance, and the dynamical systems of three-dimensional (3D) velocity field are introduced. The qualitative analysis of the dynamical system shows that there are down 3D spiral structures in eye of tropical cyclone and tropical cyclone is 3D counterclockwise up spiral structure. These results are consistent with the observed tropical cyclone on the weather map.
