A solution to the impermeability of the tachocline may be possible with only hydrodynamic flows.
Differential rotation maintained across tachocline, except at tachopause
Assume anisotropic turbulence. (Is this unphysical?)
Certain configurations of 2-D instability across shells can induce radial stability in simulations.
Highly dependent on viscosity/Reynolds number, which is not well known deep in the interior.
