The steady-state model for four-day circulation in the Venusian atmosphere proposed by Matsuda (1980) using a two-layer model is examined through time integrations of a five-layer model. Assuming infinite horizontal viscosity, it is shown that the fast zonal flow is gradually formed in the upper layer over 1000 days by the accumulation of angular momentum. This momentum is supplied to the lower atmosphere from a slowly rotating planet and is transported upward by meridional circulation. Stationary solutions for various values of three external parameters (horizontal diffusion time, latitudinal differential heating, and planetary speed of rotation) are obtained. Multiple equilibrium states are found to appear in the system when the horizontal diffusion time (normalized by the vertical one), delta, is reduced to 0.01. A super-rotation rate as large as the observed one is realized in some solutions when delta is reduced to 0.001. The parameter dependence of (multiple) equilibrium states in the present model is found to be analogous to that obtained by the two-layer model in Matsuda (1980).
