Physics

Scientific paper

The behavior of liquid mass poured out on the surface of a rotating planet is investigated. Analysis of the numerical experiments indicates that the spreading pattern of the produced spot depends significantly on the nondimensional number Fric that describes the relationship between such parameters of the problem as the acceleration of gravity, the Coriolis parameter, the coefficient of friction, and the depth scale of the spot. In particular, for Fric < 0.1, the spot is shown to make concentric oscillations as it spreads whose origin is similar to that of Poincare waves.
