Abstract

The super rotation here means that the majority of fluid inside a precessing sphere rotates around the precession axis with angular velocity larger than that of the precession rotation itself. This phenomenon observed experimentally and numerically is explained to be driven by a cooperative interplay between the Coriolis force, the pressure gradient and the spherical geometry in the boundary layer.
