Abstract
Grosch & Salwen (1978) discuss the continuous-spectrum contribution in both temporal and spatial stability problems that are governed by the linear Orr–Sommerfeld equation. Their computed temporal continuum eigenfunctions for the Blasius boundary layer and for a laminar jet profile show surprising differences. This note provides an improved physical understanding of the results through a simple model, and shows that these differences are more apparent than real.
