Uniformly rotating gas-sheet dispersion relation

ID: uniformly-rotating-gas-sheet-dispersion-relation

For a homogeneous inviscid razor-thin disk approximation with solid-body rotation and barotropic sound speed , the compressive wave branch obeys . The razor-thin disk Poisson kernel supplies the self-gravity term, and the radial epicyclic frequency is . Growing modes have ; a separate zero-frequency balanced mode can also exist.
