Can the solar angular momentum problem be solved without internal gravity waves?

Solar and Stellar Astrophysics 2024-12-04 v1

Abstract

The solar radiative zone spin down problem is treated without internal gravity waves, IGW. The shear-only model of the Reynolds stresses adopted thus far in all calculations, is substituted by a shear vorticity model. The latter component is shown to play a role analogous to the IGW and with a similar time scale of about 107years.
