Tidal forcing in icy-satellite oceans drives mean circulation and ice-shell torques

Tidal forces generate time-varying currents in bodies with fluid layers, such as the icy ocean moons of the outer solar system. The expectation has been that tidal currents are periodic—they average to zero over a forcing period—so that they are not associated with a mean flow. This expectation aris...
