Stability, instability, and "backward" transport in stratified fluids

The stratification of entropy and the stratification of angular momentum are closely analogous. The analogy has been developed for a number of different problems in the fluid literature, but its consequences for the behavior of turbulent accretion disks are less appreciated. Of particular interest i...
