(abbreviated) In this paper we develop a consistent WKBJ formalism, together with a formal first order perturbation theory for calculating the properties of the inertial modes of a uniformly rotating coreless body (modelled as a polytrope and referred hereafter to as a planet) under the assumption of a spherically symmetric structure. The eigenfrequencies, spatial form of the associated eigenfunctions and other properties we obtained analytically using the WKBJ eigenfunctions are in good agreement with corresponding results obtained by numerical means for a variety of planet models even for global modes with a large scale distribution of perturbed quantities. This indicates that even though they are embedded in a dense spectrum, such modes can be identified and followed as model parameters changed and that first order perturbation theory can be applied. This is used to estimate corrections to the eigenfrequencies as a consequence of the anelastic approximation, which we argue here to be small when the rotation frequency is small. These are compared with simulation results in an accompanying paper with a good agreement between theoretical and numerical results. The results reported here may provide a basis of theoretical investigations of inertial waves in many astrophysical and other applications, where a rotating body can be modelled as a uniformly rotating barotropic object, for which the density has, close to its surface, an approximately power law dependence on distance from the surface.
Oscillations have been detected in a variety of stars, including intermediate- and high-mass main sequence stars. While many of these stars are rapidly and differentially rotating, the effects of rotation on oscillation modes are poorly known. In thi
Complete Hamiltonian formalism is suggested for inertial waves in rotating incompressible fluid. Resonance three-wave interaction processes -- decay instability and confluence of two waves -- are shown to play a key role in the weakly nonlinear dynam
While many intermediate- and high-mass main sequence stars are rapidly and differentially rotating, the effects of rotation on oscillation modes are poorly known. In this communication we present a first study of axisymmetric gravito-inertial modes i
The gravito-inertial waves propagating over a shellular baroclinic flow inside a rotating spherical shell are analysed using the Boussinesq approximation. The wave properties are examined by computing paths of characteristics in the non-dissipative l
We perform one of the first studies into the nonlinear evolution of tidally excited inertial waves in a uniformly rotating fluid body, exploring a simplified model of the fluid envelope of a planet (or the convective envelope of a solar-type star) su
