  29. Summary Linear stability of an elliptic vortex, a straight vortex tube subject to a pure shear, to three-dimensional disturbances is calculated. This is a parametric resonance instability between two Kelvin waves caused by a perturbation breaking S-symmetry of the circular core. • Tsai & Widnall ('76) is simplified; Disturbance field and growth rate are written out in terms of the Bessel and modified Bessel functions. • Energetics: Energy of the Kelvin waves is calculated by adapting Cairns’ formula (= black box)consistent with Krein’s theory Modification of mean field at 2 nd order: 3. Lagrangian approach: Energy of the Kelvin waves is calculated by restricting disturbance to kinematically accessible field linear perturbation is sufficient to calcilate energy, quadratic in amplitude! 4. Axial current: For the Rankine vortex, 2 nd-order drift current includes not only azimuthal but also axial component
