Abstract
The role of the internal gravity modes in mediating the growth of nonaxisymmetric instabilities is investigated by studying the instability of stratified incompressible differentially rotating fluid cylinders to global nonaxisymmetric modes. The results indicate that, in addition to a modified version of the well-known principal branch mediated by surface modes of the system (analogous to f-modes of stars), there exist unstable branches of the dispersion relation mediated by internal gravity modes of the system (similar to the g-modes of stars). These branches arise due to the interaction between the g-modes. It is shown that the maximum growth rate on one of the new branches can sometimes equal or exceed that on the principal branch, thus modifying the principal branch.
