On the Oseen linearization of the swirling-flow boundary layer
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 March 2006
Abstract
The modified Oseen linearization of the swirling-flow boundary layer of a mature hurricane is discussed. Upper and lower solutions for the radial and azimuthal velocity components are constructed in a subdomain by using a comparison theorem. It is shown that the error incurred in these velocity components by using the linear solution is no more than 30% in the subdomain. It is then inferred that the vertical velocity is also approximated to that order.
