Abstract

Short-wavelength local stability analysis is performed of a helical base flow of an incompressible fluid in a differentially rotating cylindrical annulus with radial temperature gradient and an Archimedean buoyancy. A new explicit generalized Rayleigh criterion that mixes the Eckhoff-Leibovich-Stewartson (ELS) criterion for instability of helical flows and the Goldreich-Schubert-Fricke (GSF) criterion for the instability of azimuthal flows with radial temperature gradient, is derived.
