Abstract: The Navier-Stokes equations for a rotating fluid are harmonically analyzed for planar motion in an infinite half-space. All solutions are shown to be a sum of two inertial wave vectors, one circularly polarized to the left ...

Abstract: The boundary layers formed in a rotating fluid by oscillating flow over an infinite half-plate are analyzed in detail. The undisturbed flow is composed of a steady velocity parallel to the plate plus a small oscillating ...

Abstract: Formulations of instantaneous solar heating or photolytic rates, for various atmospheric absorbers, as functions of altitude and sun angle are available in the literature. Such work can be integrated over the solar day to ...
