Abstract

The generalized shooting method, previously developed for the analysis of spatial instability modes of arbitrary shape jets, is applied to incompressible jets with triangular core regions of constant flow. The instability modes of these jets are classified, and calculations are carried out for spatial growth rates, phase velocities, and velocity fluctuation eigenfunctions of three fundamental and two overtone modes. All of the calculated eigenfunctions show negligible velocity fluctuations at the triangle vertices, in good correlation with experimental findings.
