Scientific paper

An axisymmetric model for the sun's differential rotation based upon a mechanism for angular momentum transport by compressible convection is developed. Convective heat transport is also considered. No adjustable parameters are used and the effective transport coefficients are expressed explicitly in terms of superadiabaticity of stratification rather than assigned externally. The model predictions agree satisfactorily with the observed rotation of the photosphere and with helioseismology data. The dependence of the rotation law, produced by the model, on rotation rate of a sun-like star is discussed.
