We _consider t~e _tidal disturbance_ fo~c~d ~n a differentially rotating fluid by a rigidly rotating external potential. The flmd ~s assumed to be mviscid, msl:llated, and self-gravitating, and to have laminar unperturbed and pe~tu~bed velocity fields. The external potential may exert a steady torque on the fluid which is of second order m Its str~ngth. ~owever, to this. order, we prove that th...

We consider uniformly rotating incompressible Euler and NavierStokes equations. We study the suppression of vertical gradients of Lagrangian displacement (”vertical” refers to the direction of the rotation axis). We employ a formalism that relates the total vorticity to the gradient of the back-to-labels map (the inverse Lagrangian map, for inviscid flows, a diffusive analogue for viscous flows...

We consider a uniformly rotating viscous incompressible fluid and estimate particle transport in the vertical direction (parallel to the rotation axis). We prove that for short time and regular initial data, strong rotation suppresses the vertical gradient of flow maps. The proof uses a diffusive Lagrangian formalism, and the suppression of the vertical gradient is a natural and direct byproduc...

A detailed study of the Counter-Rotating Model (CRM) for generic finite static axially symmetric thin disks with nonzero radial pressure is presented. We find a general constraint over the counter-rotating tangential velocities needed to cast the surface energy-momentum tensor of the disk as the superposition of two counter-rotating perfect fluids. We also found expressions for the energy densi...
