Abstract

A new approach for linear analysis of the stability of jets with arbitrary mean velocity profiles is presented. This method is based on utilizing Green function technique a to transform the Rayleigh equation into an integral equation form. The integral equation is then solved numerically using a type of finite element approximation to determine the eigenvectors and complex wave numbers of various instability modes. In order to demonstrate this method's capability of handling arbitrary jet mean velocity profiles, a comparison is made to the elliptic jet case where generally good agreement 1s apparent. A brief discussion on how the effects of compressibility and temperature variation in flows car be incorporated within the formalism is presented.
