The atmospheric circulation in Venus is well known to exhibit strong super-rotation.
However, the atmospheric mechanisms responsible for the formation of this super-rotation
are still not fully understood. In this work, we developed a new Venus general circulation
model to study the most likely mechanisms driving the atmosphere to the current observed
circulation. Our model includes a new radiative transfer, convection and suitably adapted
boundary layer schemes and a dynamical core that takes into account the dependence of …
