Abstract

A recent model for the flow of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, formulated in spherical coordinates as a Dirichlet boundary-value problem for a nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation, reduces for flows with no azimuthal variations to a two-point boundary-value problem for a second-order ordinary differential equation. We provide some general settings for which these apparently simpler solutions are the unique solutions, due to an inherent symmetry of the model.
