Numerical Procedure for an Inviscid Stability Analysis of an Axisymmetric Jet

摘要

Inviscid stability analysis has been applied to the mixing layer profile of an axisymmetric jet and a coflowing stream. A collection of computer subprograms has been developed to solve the resulting eigenvalue problem. The effect of changing the velocity profile and its parameters can be easily assessed. Results for Gaussian profiles are included.
