Abstract
Necessary conditions for linear stability of a rotating, compressible and inviscid fluid are found by the generalized progressing wave expansion method. The full three-dimensional problem involving an arbitrarily given rotational symmetric external force field is considered for an arbitrary steady shear flow with vanishing axial velocity. The results obtained are compared with previously known results.Keywords
