Taylor–Proudman theorem
In fluid mechanics, the Taylor–Proudman theorem (after Geoffrey Ingram Taylor and Joseph Proudman) states that when a solid body is moved slowly within a fluid that is steadily rotated with a high angular velocity \Omega, the fluid velocity will be uniform along any line parallel to the axis of rotation.
