Coupling Onset of Cyclone Upward and Rotation Flows in a Little Bottle

A coupling onset of the cyclone upward and rotation flows is experimentally demonstrated in a little bottle. The rotating flow provides a pressure increase in the outer part of the rotating flow by its centrifugal force. When a gradient of the fluid rotation appears along the rotation axis, the higher-pressure area is localized and pushes the fluid in a low pressure. Then the fluid staying in the central area of the rotation is pushed up along the rotation axis, and the upward wind is enhanced. In this coupling mechanism the rotation gradient is the key; the coupling of the rotation and the upward fluid flow is essentially important for a cyclone buildup, and is well explained experimentally and theoretically.
