Abstract
The steady two-cell viscous vortex solution of Sullivan (1959) is extended to yield unsteady two-cell viscous vortex solutions which behave asymptotically as certain analogous unsteady one-cell solutions of Rott (1958). The radial flux is a parameter of the solution, and the effect of the radial flow on the circumferential velocity, is analyzed. The work suggests an explanation for the eventual dissipation of meteorological flow systems such as tornadoes.
