The linear stability of a stratified shear fluid rotating about a vertical axis with constant is analyzed assuming long wavelength approximations angular velocity (k≪ 1). The eigen value problem is solved numerically assuming rigid fixed boundaries. Analytical expressions are carried out to calculate the growth rate using method of small oscillations. It is found that when Ri is small, the flow is unstable, as Ri increases, the flow becomes unstable.enhydrodynamic stabilityrotation numbershear flowlong wavelengthRichardson numberArticle
