Earth Core: Fluid Dynamics

Scientific paper

A large-scale flow, including differential rotation and meridional circulation, arises in the liquid density-stratified outer core as a result of the difference in angular velocities between the mantle and solid core. The steady-state difference in angular velocities is maintained by a balance between the moments of the external (tidal) forces and the internal viscous and magnetic friction.
