Canonical treatment of dissipative forces between Earth mantle and core
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
Dissipative effects arising from the core–mantle interaction are treated in a Hamiltonian framework, using a simple model. Analytical solutions are obtained for free and forced motions. The first show the persistence or damping of the different components. The latter, frequency dependent changes of amplitude and phase. Preliminary numerical values are in acceptable agreement with observational data.
