Abstract
This chapter treats homogeneous flows with small Rossby and Ekman numbers. It is shown that such flows have a tendency to display vertical rigidity. The concept of potential vorticity is then introduced. The solution of vertically homogeneous flows often involves a Poisson equation for the pressure distribution, and numerical techniques are presented for this purpose.
