==Høiland Criterion== <table border="0" cellpadding="3" align="center" width="60%"> <tr><td align="left"> <font color="indianred"> "For an incompressible liquid contained between concentric cylinders and rotating with angular velocity <math>~\Omega(\varpi)</math>, Rayleigh's criterion — that <math>~\varpi^4 \Omega^2</math> increase outwards — is necessary and sufficient for stability to axisymmetric disturbances. In a star rotating with angular velocity <math>~\Omega(\varpi)</math> if we continue to restrict attention to axisymmetric disturbances, this criterion must be modified by buoyancy effects; that is, some combination of the Rayleigh and Schwarzschild criteria should obtain. Such a combination has been found, for example, by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einar_Høiland Høiland (1941)] (see also [https://archive.org/details/AllerStellarStructure Ledoux's Chapter 10, pp. 499-574 of ''Stellar Structure'' (1965)], and indicates, as one would expect, that a stable stratification of angular velocity exerts a stabilizing influence on an unstable distribution of temperature, and vice versa. The combined criterion has not been placed on the solid analytical foundation of its two component criteria, however."</font> </td></tr> <tr><td align="right"> — Drawn from p. 475 of [https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1967ARA%26A...5..465L/abstract N. R. Lebovitz (1967)], ARAA, 5, 465 </td></tr></table> As is stated on p. 166 of [ <b>[[Appendix/References#T78|<font color="red">T78</font>]] </b>], in rotating barotropic configurations, axisymmetric stability requires the simultaneous satisfaction of the following pair of conditions: <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\biggl(\frac{1}{\varpi^3} \biggr) \frac{\partial j^2}{\partial \varpi} + \frac{1}{c_P} \biggl( \frac{\gamma - 1}{\Gamma_3 - 1}\biggr) (- \vec{g} ) \cdot \nabla s</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~></math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~0 </math> </td> <td align="center"> [stable] ;</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="4"> [ <b>[[Appendix/References#T78|<font color="red">T78</font>]] </b>], §7.3, Eq.

(43.22) </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~-g_z \biggl[ \frac{\partial j^2}{\partial \varpi} \biggl(\frac{\partial s}{\partial z} \biggr) - \frac{\partial j^2}{\partial z} \biggl(\frac{\partial s}{\partial \varpi} \biggr)\biggr]</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~></math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~0 </math> </td> <td align="center"> [stable] .</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="4"> [ <b>[[Appendix/References#T78|<font color="red">T78</font>]] </b>], §7.3, Eq.

(43.23) </td> </tr> </table> </div> where, <math>~s</math>, is the local specific entropy, and <math>~j \equiv \dot\varphi \varpi^2</math>, is the local specific angular momentum of the fluid. According to [ <b>[[Appendix/References#T78|<font color="red">T78</font>]] </b>] — see p. 168 — this pair of mathematically expressed conditions has the following meaning: <table border="0" align="center" width="75%" cellpadding="5"> <tr><td align="left"><font color="darkgreen"> "A baroclinic star in permanent rotation is dynamically stable with respect to axisymmetric motions if and only if the two following conditions are satisfied: (i) the entropy per unit mass, <math>~s</math>, never decreases outward, and (ii) on each surface <math>~s</math> = constant, the angular momentum per unit mass, <math>~j</math>, increases as we move from the poles to the equator." </font></td></tr> </table> ===Schwarzschild Criterion=== In the case of nonrotating equilibrium configurations, the Høiland Criterion reduces to the Schwarzschild criterion. That is, thermal convection arises when the condition, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~(- \vec{g} ) \cdot \nabla s</math> </td> <td align="center" width="20px"> <math>~> </math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~0 </math> </td> <td align="left"> [stable] ,</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="4"> [ <b>[[Appendix/References#T78|<font color="red">T78</font>]] </b>], §7.3, Eq.

(6.13) … or … pp. 93 - 98 of [ <b>[[Appendix/References#Shu92|<font color="red">Shu92</font>]] </b>] </td> </tr> </table> </div> is violated. This means that, in order for a spherical system to be stable against dynamical convective motions, the specific entropy ''must increase outward.'' ===Solberg/Rayleigh Criterion=== In the case of an homentropic equilibrium configuration, the Høiland Criterion reduces to the Solberg criterion. That is, an axisymmetric exchange of fluid "rings" will occur on a dynamical time scale if the condition, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{dj^2}{d\varpi} </math> </td> <td align="center" width="20px"> <math>~> </math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~0 </math> </td> <td align="left"> [stable] ,</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="4"> [ <b>[[Appendix/References#T78|<font color="red">T78</font>]] </b>], §7.3, Eq.

This means that, for stability, the specific angular momentum ''must necessarily increase outward.'' As [ <b>[[Appendix/References#T78|<font color="red">T78</font>]] </b>] points out, this <font color="darkgreen">"Solberg criterion generalizes to homentropic bodies the well-known [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1917RSPSA..93..148R Rayleigh (1917)] criterion for an inviscid, incompressible fluid."</font>
