The core of each cell is an isothermal, highly viscous rotating flow. When fluids encounter solid boundaries, the fluid in contact with the wall is at rest and viscous effects thus retard a layer in the vicinity of the wall. Two characteristic points appear, in the context of the equations considered here, and singularities may occur at these points depending on the behaviour there of a given function, namely, the flatness or compatibility of at these points as explained below.
