Abstract

We investigate steady axially symmetric small Rossby number flows in which the driving consists of prescribed axial heat sources. By letting the velocity be proportional to the shear at the bottom surface we study the effects of that boundary condition on the resulting flows.A multi-boundary-layer structure is found in the core, surrounding the heat sources. That structure depends on the relative magnitudes of the aspect ratio, stratification parameter and Ekman number.
