Abstract

The presence of elongated streaks of high and low streamwise velocity in the shear layer of circular jets breaks the axisymmetry of their steady-state solution. If the streaks are considered to be part of the base flow, for the purpose of linear instability analysis, the instability eigenmodes are thus affected by their presence. The resulting changes of growth rate and spatial shapes of eigenmodes, related to the shear instability in jets, are investigated here for parallel base flows. Optimal streamwise vortices (‘rolls’) with prescribed azimuthal periodicity are computed, such that the transient temporal growth of the streaks that they produce is maximal. The presence of finite-amplitude streaks requires the formulation of eigenvalue problems in a two-dimensional cross-plane. Sinuous rolls and streaks are found to have a stabilising effect on the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability, whereas the varicose rolls and streaks have a destabilising effect. Absolute instability is not found to occur. This work shows that the effects of rolls and streaks need to be taken into account for more precise modelling of jet instability.
