 Inertial modes of an incompressible disk

For $0<{\omega }^2<{\kappa }^2$, set $S=kH\omega /\sqrt{{\kappa }^2-{\omega }^2}$. Even-pressure modes satisfy ${\omega }^2=-{\Omega }_z^{2}S\tan S$, while odd-pressure modes satisfy ${\omega }^2={\Omega }_z^{2}S\cot S$. In the case ${\Omega }_z>\kappa >0$, the branches approach $\kappa$ as $kH\to 0$. For each fixed vertical order $n\ge 1$ and large $kH$, $S\to n\pi /2$ and $\omega \sim \kappa n\pi /(2kH)$. Even orders have even pressure and odd orders odd pressure. The limiting boundary condition is zero normal derivative of pressure at both interfaces.
