Abstract
AbstractWhen Rossby number is small but Ekman number is very much smaller, study of the flow field far from a body moving at right angles to the axis of rotation of a large body of fluid indicates that the region of influence should not be a Taylor column parallel to the axis, but a trailing Taylor column, bent backwards on both sides of the body at a small angle (proportional to Rossby number) to the axis. The paper reviews the physical significance of, and experimental evidence for, this conclusion.
