Abstract

The stability against small disturbances which do not bend the vortex lines of a circular cylindrical vortex sheet of variable radius is examined. If the jump in tangential velocity across the sheet falls off with time faster than (time)–íthe disturbances are bounded (or grow less rapidly than linearly with time) so that the sheet is effectively stable. If the tangential velocity jump falls off with time slower than (time)–í the sheet is unstable.
