Abstract

Linear instability analysis is applied to the slowly diverging mean profile of a turbulent axisymmetric jet and used to predict the transverse structure and axial evolution of large-scale wavelike modes with azimuthal wavenumber m = 1. Comparisons are made with measurements of filtered velocity fluctuations, and of pressure fluctuations, taken in a jet with coherent forcing at the exit plane, at Strouhal numbers St = fD/U0 around 0.5,f = ω/2π being the frequency, D the nozzle diameter and U0 the mean centreline exit velocity. The transverse structure at each axial station is well predicted by linear theory, as is the phase speed and its variation with axial distance. The downstream evolution of amplitude is much less well predicted, presumably because of cumulative nonlinear effects in the experiments, though the inclusion of mean-flow divergence itself constitutes a significant improvement over the theory for parallel flow, and in somecases permits calculation of the wave evolution well into the decay phase without any reference to viscous effects on the disturbance.
