Abstract
Drobyshevski's effect for maintaining the equatorial acceleration of the Sun is characterized to be of orderλ/R whereλ represents the eddy size andR the solar radius. The weakness of this mechanism is, therefore, not surprising.
Furthermore we have discussed the idea of replacing the two-dimensional eddy tubes by spherical eddy configurations. We can state here that a theory which is linear in the rotational rateΩ and uses the radial direction as the only source (besidesΩ) of anisotropy cannot explain the observed phenomenon of differential rotation.
