Waves in planetary rings:hydrodynamic modeling of resonantly forced density waves and viscous overstability in Saturn’s rings
Abstract The present thesis investigates the dynamics of wave structures in dense planetary rings by employing hydrodynamic models, along with local N-body simulations of the particulate ring flow. The focus is on the large-scale satellite induced spiral density waves as well as on the free short-s...
