Abstract

We solve the extended Taylor problem that accounts for viscous effects. The solution, written as a superposition of wave solutions, involves viscous counterparts of the well-known Kelvin and Poincaré modes, as well as a new type of mode. This work is a first step towards an idealized, analytical model for tidal and residual flow in basins with a complex geometry.
