An Engineering Hypothesis on Mitigating Tropical Cyclones via Clockwise Artificial Anticyclone Array with Offshore High-Altitude Airship Formation
Description
Tropical cyclones including typhoons and hurricanes maintain energy supply relying on continuous latent heat from tropical ocean surface, leading to devastating wind, rain and storm surge disasters every year. Existing disaster prevention methods are only passive forecasting and coastal construction without active intervention on cyclone inner circulation. Based on the mature land-based theory of artificial anticyclone for South Asian heat dome reduction, this paper proposes an offshore engineering scheme adopting modified zeppelin airships carrying standardized 6m Venturi modules. Different formations with 3,6,8~10 airships are deployed at 5.5km (500hPa) altitude outside cyclone eye to generate large-scale clockwise artificial anticyclones. Reverse angular momentum tears mid-level eye-wall circulation and cuts water vapor upward transportation to weaken cyclone intensity by grades: tropical storm, severe typhoon and super typhoon match corresponding three-tier fleet configuration. All equipment abandons ground tether and uses airship buoyancy; only anti-corrosion adjustment for marine salt fog without changing original aerodynamic structure of Venturi units. Four-stage operation process includes navigation standby, synchronous vortex generation, long-term energy dissipation and tangential return. Four natural dissipation constraints prevent secondary tropical cyclone formation after airship withdrawal. A four-level verification plan from WRF numerical simulation, wind tunnel test, offshore trial to real ocean typhoon experiment is designed. The whole theory is self-consistent with complete falsifiable attribute and provides a new feasible path for global active typhoon mitigation.
