As the simplest model to simulate the solar spin down procedure from the hydrodynamical viewpoint, a spin down problem with a simple geometrical configuration within the frame work of the Boussinesq approximation is investigated. A new proposal of the origin of the solar differential rotation is made on the basis of the calculated asymptotic distribution of the angular velocity. A comment on the present day solar spin down controversy is also made.
