Tidal dissipation and spin-orbit alignment due to the precessional instability in convection zones in rotating giant planets and stars
Nils B. de Vries, Adrian J. Barker, Rainer Hollerbach
Tidal dissipation in star-planet systems occurs through various mechanisms, including the precessional instability. This is an instability of laminar flows (``Poincaré flows") forc…

Tidal dissipation in rotating and evolving giant planets with application to exoplanet systems
Yaroslav A. Lazovik, Adrian J. Barker, Nils B. de Vries +1
We study tidal dissipation in models of rotating giant planets with masses in the range throughout their evolution. Our models incorporate a frequency-depen…
