Zonal jets and shear : transport properties of two-dimensional fluid flows
It is well known that instabilities in rotational flows, such as those found on planets or in the solar tachocline, lead to the formation of long-lived zonal jets. Pioneered by the work of Rhines, after whom the fundamental length scale of these jets is named, much work has been put into simulating...
