Abstract
A physical mechanism for the intense rotation of a spiral cyclonic vor tex in a laboratory model of a tropical cyclone is described on the ba sis of experimental results. The results obtained are compared with th e equation describing the vertical component of the vorticity. (C) 199 6 American Institute of Physics.
