Summary

Measured stability characteristics in a radial wall jet were compared with calculated results for a two-dimensional wall jet. It was found that the stability of the radial wall jet is similar in many respects to that of the two-dimensional wall jet. An exception is that the local amplification rate of the disturbance velocity is much higher than in the two-dimensional case. It was also found that quarter-harmonics appear in the non-linear region, as well as half-harmonics, and that their amplitude distributions show profiles similar to that of the fundamental component. Further, vortex patterns were visualised in water flow, and results corresponding to measurements in air flow and to the linear stability calculation were obtained.
