Abstract
The efficiency of tidal dissipation in convective zones of stars and giant planets depends, in part, on the response of a three-dimensional fluid flow to the periodic deformation due to the equilibrium tide — a problem considered by Jean-Paul Zahn in his PhD thesis. We review recent results on this problem and present novel calculations based on some idealized models.
