Mathematical Modeling of cyclone in mature stage using fuzzy differential inclusion AMITAVA CHATTERJEE and RUPAK BHATTACHARYYA* Department of Mathematics, National Institute of Technology, Durgapur 713209, West Bengal, India E- mail: amitava.math@gmail.com, mathsrup@gmail.com * ABSTRACT Cyclone is defined as a violently rotating column of air attaining conical-shape extending downward from the base of cumulonimbus cloud. The model of genesis of cyclone with the help of fuzzy differential inclusion is already established. But the fuzzy mathematical model had not been established for cyclones in mature state. In this paper we have established the mathematical model of cyclone in mature state using fuzzy differential inclusion. Key words: Cyclone; fuzzy differential equation; fuzzy differential inclusion; crystalline algorithm.

1. INTRODUCTION Cyclones are the most violent of all the storms. They are intense centers of low pressure having a whirlpool-like structure of winds rotating around a central cavity where a partial vacuum is produced by the centrifugal forces. The fuzzy model of nascent cyclone or the cyclogenesis is established by D. Dutta Majumder and K. K. Majumder in 2004 where only the horizontal component of the air for the formation of cyclone is considered. But it does not provide the model of cyclone in afterward stages. In this paper, we aim to establish

the model of cyclone in mature stage with the help of fuzzy differential inclusion. To do so we consider not only the horizontal component of air but also vertical component of it. Actually the atmosphere has got a layered structure. Layers of the atmosphere differ from one another by temperature, density and humidity of the air. Vertical motions are produced due to these different physical properties of the atmospheric layers. Undoubtedly these motions are far more important meteorologically than the horizontal movements of air. Rising air moves

Lower pressure initiates stronger winds. The gyratory motion in the updraft increases as the wind increases its velocity. This results in lowering the pressure at the centre further. Rising air currents give rise to inflowing currents of air from the adjoining regions. The converging air currents develop a cyclonic spin by the effect of coriolis forces. The rotational velocity of the air increases as it gets closer to its axis of rotation. This is in conformity with the conservation of angular momentum. The form of a mature cyclone is like a cone, not in regular shape. Out of thousand nascent cyclones only a few mature. So clearly we can say that rest of the nascent cyclones do not get the structure of cone and this occurs due to absence of vertical motion air.

in cylindrical co-ordinate system (Dutta Majumder and Majumder, 2004, pp 1173-1175). After formation, the created vortex rotates about an axis passing through the fuzzy attractor of the vortex. As we know that any rotating object (in an anti-clockwise direction) has a tendency to move in upward direction, so the created vortex also tries to move in upward direction. But this upward movement of vortex is controlled by surface wind. When surface wind helps the vortex to move upward, only then cyclone matures, otherwise not.

2. Mathematical formulation Behind the genesis of cyclone there exist many component of wind. The diagrammatic representation of the components is given below in figure 1. From figure 1, it is clear that surface wind and geostrophic wind are responsible for the genesis of cyclone. Geostrophic wind creates the vortex and surface wind helps for maturation. Since geostrophic wind blows parallel to ground, so it has no vertical component. But the radial and cross radial components always exist in their form

Fig. 1. Components of wind Now if we resolve the surface wind in cylindrical co-ordinate system we get, radial component =

dr , dt

cross- radial component = r vertical component =

dθ , dt

dz . dt

This radial and cross radial components

Amitava Chatterjee et al., J.Comp.&Math.Sci. Vol.1(4), 493-496 (2010) 495 also help to keep the vortex in form and the vertical component supports for upward movement of vertex. Now with the increment of height of vortex, the cyclonic spin increases and thus the radius of the vortex gradually increases due to centrifugal forces. Now according to dynamics, the proportion of radial and vertical components is fixed. So here the ratio of increasing height and radius is fixed. Thus we get,

dr dt  n, dz dt where n is a constant. But in reality, this relation can not be true absolutely and it can in no way represent the real situation. Since n is the ratio of two wind speeds, it cannot be a constant over an interval of time which is needed for the maturation of cyclone. Basically the value of n fluctuates even for a very small interval of time. It is also to be noted that n will not go beyond a certain range. That is, the values of n will always lie within some interval on the real line and for that reason we can state that n takes values from a fuzzy real number, say n.  The number n is not fixed, but as a fuzzy number, n is fixed.. We take n a trapezoidal fuzzy number (x, y, z, w) which behaves as a fuzzy   [0,1] is a memconstant. Clearly n:

 = 0 if n  bership function and n(n) [x, y] implies that the created cyclone will not mature.

The chance of the created cyclone to become mature increases under favourable climate and geographical conditions as n takes values from x to z. The possibility of the created cyclone to become stable and mature are is in superlative form under favourable climate and geographical condition as n takes values from y to z. On the other hand, as n takes the values from z to w, the formulated cyclone increases its size of radius and as a result the created cyclone will collapse. So consideration of n as trapezoidal fuzzy number is justified. The fuzzy differential inclusion can be written as

r (z) = [n] α , r(0)  [r0 ] α .

(2 .1)

For best system behaviour we take α = 1 and then by using crystalline algorithm (Dutta Majumder and Majumder, 2004) we get, r = nz + c i.e., x2 + y2 = (nz + c)2,

which is the equation of a cone. 3. CONCLUSION In this paper, the cone-shaped structure of matured cyclone is mathematically established by using fuzzy differential inclusion. For best system
