We consider the stability of density-stratified viscous Taylor-Couette flow using the Boussinesq approximation, but without any use of the short-wave approximation. Flows which are unstable according to the Rayleigh criterion (μ η, we never found unstable modes. The Reynolds numbers grow rapidly to very large values as this limit is approached (see Figs. 3 and 4). Also striking is that the marginal stability lines for the higher m penetrate less and less into the region beyond the Rayleigh line, so that we have to consider the stratorotational instability as a low-m instability. Finally, we briefly discuss the applicability of these results to the stability problem of accretion disks, with their strong density stratification and rapid rotation.
