Laplace Tidal Equation

Introduced to this PDE from a really interesting on analog computers. Theis also historically insightful.

  • ​(u,v)(u,v)(u,v)... latitudinal (ϕ\phiϕ) and longitudinal(λ\lambdaλ) velocity components

  • ​DDD... mean thiccness

  • ​ζ\zetaζ... tidal elevation

  • ​Ω\OmegaΩ... planetary rotational frequency

  • ​ggg... gravitational acceleration

  • ​aaa... planetary radius

​UUU... external gravitational tidal potential
