Euler equation on a rotating surface

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We study 2D Euler equations on a rotating surface, subject to the effect of the Coriolis force, with an emphasis on surfaces of revolution. We bring in conservation laws that yield long time estimates on solutions to the Euler equation, and examine ways in which the solutions behave like zonal fields, building on work of B.~Cheng and A.~Mahalov, examining how such 2D Euler equations can account for the observed band structure of rapidly rotating planets. Specific results include both an analysis of time averages of solutions and a study of stability of stationary zonal fields. The latter study includes both analytical and numerical work.
