论文摘要
泰勒(Tyler,2020)提出了海洋势能的耗散,作为一种新机制,导致了可能的高势状态。我在这里表明,这个过程实际上是由于地壳内的粘弹性耗散而引起的。对于土埃尔德斯海洋厚度的合理值,可以通过平衡潮汐的静态变形方法计算地壳耗散。
Dissipation of ocean potential energy is proposed by Tyler (2020) as a new mechanism leading to possible high-power states for Enceladus. I show here that this process actually results from viscoelastic dissipation within the crust. For plausible values of Enceladus's ocean thickness, crustal dissipation can be computed with the standard approach of static deformations of solid layers by equilibrium tides.
