Abstract

Transient growth properties are computed for a two-phase temporal mixing layer of immiscible fluids with interfacial tension. Large transient growth factors are found to occur at short times in parameter regimes characteristic of the primary breakup of a liquid. Optimal growth factors scale with the square of the Reynolds number, as for single-phase flow
