Stably stratified Taylor–Couette flow has attracted
much attention due to its relevance as a canonical
example of the interplay among rotation, stable
stratification, shear and container boundaries, as
well as its potential applications in geophysics and
astrophysics. In this article, we review the current
knowledge on this topic, highlight unanswered
questions and propose directions for future research.
This article is part of the theme issue ‘Taylor–
Couette and related flows on the centennial of Taylor’s
seminal Philosophical transactions paper (Part 2)’.
