Physical Formation Mechanisms of the Southwest China Vortex

On the basis of the Prandtl boundary layer theory and an improved perturbation method, the process of laminar flow bifurcating into the Southwest China vortex (SWV) in the Hengduan Mountains is studied. The results show that the formation of SWV is mainly determined by the speed of incoming airflow...
