Internal shear layers in librating spherical shells: The case of periodic characteristic paths

Internal shear layers generated by the longitudinal libration of the inner core in a spherical shell rotating at a rate are analysed asymptotically and numerically. The forcing frequency is chosen as such that the layers issued from the inner core at the critical latitude in the form of concentrated...
