Summary

The stability of a two-dimensional wall jet was studied theoretically and experimentally. As a result of the linear stability calculation, it was found that one eigenmode is separated into two modes when the Reynolds number is large, and inside a neutral stable curve in the α, R-plane there exists another neutral curve enclosing a stable region. Experimental results of small disturbances were compared with calculated results; agreement between them was satisfactory. It was found, further, that subharmonics of a predominant disturbance velocity component appear in the non-linear region.
