Abstract
This paper proposes a method for simulating symmetric and asymmetric typhoon by using Rankine vortex model. Considering similarity between tropical cyclone and the Rankine vortex, the paper has qualitatively discussed the feasibility of the methods. In order to decide quantitatively Rankine vortex's parameters to simulate typhoon's structure, the paper has dealt with TCM data for Yancy Typhoon (9012) as initial fields. These results are considered as a foundation for further studying typhoon motion by CD approach.
