ON THE INFLUENCE OF CORIOLIS FORCES ON ONSET OF THERMAL CONVECTION.

Abstract

The effect of Coriolis forces on the onset of thermal convection in a shallow layer of viscous liquid is studied in the limit of rapid rotation of the layer. The cases of both free and rigid boundaries are considered. (Author)
