On effect of precession-induced flows in the liquid core for early Earth's history

Secondary and tertiary flow patterns seen in experiments simulating flow in the Earth's liquid core induced by luni-solar precession of the solid mantle (Vanyo et al., 1995) hint at the development of non-axisymmetric columnar periodic structures. A simple interpretation of the structure fo...
