Exact Solution and Instability for Saturn’s Stratified Circumpolar Atmospheric Flow
摘要
In this paper, we present an exact solution for the nonlinear governing equation coupled with relevant boundary conditions, which arise from the study of Saturn’s stratified circumpolar atmospheric flow. The solution is explicit in the Lagrangian framework by specifying its hypotrochoidal particle paths. An instability result of such nonlinear waves is also obtained by means of the short-wavelength instability approach.
