Scientific paper

Differences in the angular velocities of the mantle and the solid core are found to lead to large-scale flow including differential rotation and meridional circulation in the density-stratified liquid outer core. The steady-state differential of angular velocities is sustained by the balance of moments of external (tidal) forces and internal viscous and magnetic friction.
