Abstract

The dispersion characteristics of gyroscopic waves in an incompressible liquid layer in a cavity of a rapidly rotating cylinder are studied. It is shown that in a viscous incompressible liquid layer, an inertial wave can be represented as the sum of six helical harmonics. The effects of the liquid viscosity and the ratio of the wave frequency to the angular velocity of rotation of the cylinder on the real and imaginary parts of the wavenumber are studied.
