A simple axisymmetric model is constructed in order to make clear the problem of four-day circulation for the Venus atmosphere. This model incorporates the mechanisms of upward transport of angular momentum by meridional circulation, with the aid of a very large horizontal velocity that dissipates differential rotation, first proposed by Gierasch in 1975. A suppressing effect on this mechanism due to horizontal eddy viscosity finiteness is also involved. Velocity and temperature fields are represented by a few fundamental modes, and terms expressing nonlinear interactions among the modes are explicitly written in the mode equations. Stationary solutions of this system are obtained mainly by a two-layer model for both finite and infinite eddy viscosities. Results of the numerical experiments by Young and Pollack in 1977 are discussed in light of the present results.
