Observational constraints on Mercury’s thermal evolution and magnetic field indicate that the top part of the fluid core is stably stratified. Here we compute how a stable layer affects the core flow in response to Mercury’s main 88 day longitudinal libration, assuming various degrees of stratification, and study whether the core flow can modify th...

... The effect of periodic change of rotation rate is most clearly represented in astrophysical problems, where the gravitational interaction of a planet with its satellites leads to the generation of large-scale vortices on its surface or inside it [10][11][12]. The article [13] examines the impact of libration on flow structures in rotating convective systems and presents a summary of the results of laboratory studies on the dynamics of the planetary core. ...
