Formulation of Planetary-Scale Fluid-Thermal Coupling Dynamics: Viscosity Attenuation via Molecular Bond Relaxation, Localized Shear Rotors, and Continental Boundary Energy Dissipation inside Rotational Coordinates
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This study delivers a multi-scale fluid-thermal coupling framework inside planetary-scale rotating coordinate systems, identifying the core mechanisms that stabilize global ocean circulation profiles. By breaking the continuum approximation, we demonstrate that solar radiative flux drives the structural relaxation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, inducing a ~50% viscosity attenuation within the surface mixed layer. At the atmospheric-oceanic interface, localized horizontal shear rotors govern momentum transfer without empirical slip coefficients. When these fluid systems impinge upon western continental boundaries, planetary rotational kinetic energy is directly extracted and dissipated under the strict constraints of the Taylor-Proudman theorem, manifesting as a measurable deceleration of the planetary rotation rate.
