Hurricane Rapid Intensification and Wind Circulation Control

Hurricane Rapid Intensification and Wind Circulation Control Using Ocean-Based S-Shaped Wind Disruptors Abstract:Hurricane rapid intensification (RI) remains a significant challenge, driven by warm sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and efficient heat transfer from the ocean to the atmosphere. This study presents a theoretical framework for mitigating hurricane formation using ocean-based S-shaped wind disruptors, designed with remotely controlled laminated components. These structures aim to break up storm organization, introduce controlled turbulence, and redirect airflow to weaken hurricanes before they intensify. The paper explores the aerodynamic effects of the S-shape, its potential for structural adaptability, and its scalability in hurricane-prone regions. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, including Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and Large Eddy Simulations (LES), are proposed to evaluate airflow disruption efficacy. Additionally, a research challenge for schools and institutions is recommended to explore alternative designs that could improve upon the S-shape concept. Further studies must address the optimal structure height, durability in extreme weather conditions, and potential environmental impacts before real-world implementation.
