Turbulent dissipation in the boundary layer of precession-driven flow in a sphere

The energy dissipation in a uniform vorticity flow, such as the flow in a precessing spheroid or the one associated with the earth’s free core nutation, is mainly confined to the boundary layers. However, the thinness of the boundary layer renders it difficult to study the energy dissipation in the...
