===Papaloizou & Pringle (1985)=== Performing their linear stability analysis in cylindrical coordinates, [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1985MNRAS.213..799P Papaloizou & Pringle (1985)] considered temporal and spatial variations in, for example, the pressure of the form, <div align="center"> <math>~p(\varpi,\varphi,z,t) = p_0(\varpi,z) + p^'(\varpi,z)e^{i(m\varphi + \sigma t)} \, .</math> </div> Rather than focusing on <math>~p^'</math>, however, they chose to build the governing PDE around an enthalpy-like perturbation defined as, <div align="center"> <math>~W(\varpi,z) = \frac{p^'}{\rho_0\bar\sigma} \, ,</math> </div> where, <math>~\bar\sigma \equiv (\sigma + m\Omega)</math>, and <math>~\Omega(\varpi)</math> is the fluid's circular orbital frequency in the initially axisymmetric, equilibrium torus. The governing PDE appears as equation (2.19) in [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1985MNRAS.213..799P Papaloizou & Pringle (1985)]; for convenience and clarity, that key equation has been extracted from their paper and displayed in the following framed image. <div align="center" id="EigenvaluePP85"> <table border="1" cellpadding="5" width="80%"> <tr><td align="center" bgcolor="orange"> Equation (2.19) extracted without modification from p. 803 of [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1985MNRAS.213..799P Papaloizou & Pringle (1985)]<p></p> "''The dynamical stability of differentially rotating discs. II''"<p></p> Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, vol. 213, pp. 799-820 © Royal Astronomical Society </td></tr> <tr> <td align="center"> [[File:PP85Eq2.19.png|500px|center|Papaloizou and Pringle (1985, MNRAS, 213, 799)]] <!-- [[Image:AAAwaiting01.png|400px|center|Whitworth (1981) Eq. 5]] --> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Note that, in this equation, <math>~\kappa(\varpi)</math> is the (radially dependent) epicyclic frequency in the torus, and <math>~h^'</math> is the radial derivative of the configuration's specific angular momentum. As has been realized by a number of groups — and as we have demonstrated in [[Apps/PapaloizouPringle84#Analyses_of_Configurations_with_Uniform_Specific_Angular_Momentum|our accompanying detailed discussion]] — this governing PDE simplifies considerably when considering only PP tori that have uniform specific angular momentum because both <math>~\kappa^2</math> and <math>~h^'</math> are zero. Hence, also, <math>~D = \bar\sigma^2</math>. For such systems, the governing PDE is, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{ {\bar\sigma}^2 \rho_0^2 W}{\Gamma p_0 } </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ - \frac{1}{\varpi} \frac{\partial}{\partial\varpi} \biggl[ \rho_0 \varpi \cdot \frac{\partial W}{\partial \varpi} \biggr] + \frac{\rho_0 m^2 W }{\varpi^2} - \frac{\partial}{\partial z} \biggl(\rho_0 \frac{\partial W}{\partial z} \biggr) \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Fundamentally, this is the governing PDE that [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1985MNRAS.216..553B Blaes (1985)] used in his examination of the stability of PP tori. But he chose to shift to dimensionless variables and to employ a different meridional-plane coordinate system in his analysis. In an [[Apps/PapaloizouPringle84#Equivalent_Dimensionless_Expression|accompanying discussion]], we show step-by-step how this expression morphs into the governing PDE that serves as the focus of the Blaes85 analysis. In what follows, we provide a brief summary of this mathematical transformation. <span id="DensityPerturbation1">For later use,</span> let's show how the eigenfunction for the density perturbation, <math>~\rho^'</math>, can be obtained from <math>~W</math>. We have, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\rho^'</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{\rho_0 p^'}{\gamma_g p_0} = \frac{\rho_0^2 \bar\sigma W}{\gamma_g p_0} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div>
