Notes:
It is shown that the sufficient conditions for stability established by Fung [Phys. Fluids 29, 368 (1986)] for the stratified vortex flows with velocity and density distribution varying in both the radial and axial directions can never be satisfied except for a trivial case, i.e., the solid body rotation. However, an estimate of the growth rate can still be made based on the technique developed by Fung.
