Synopsis

An acoustic line source is moving parallel to the vortex sheet dividing two fluids in relative motion and the lifetime of the source is finite. The resulting phenomena are compared with those created by a fixed pulsed source. It is found that the waves produced by the source in motion are not so singular as, though qualitatively similar to, those due to a source which remains in one position but Helmholtz instability still has a dominant part to play. This statement is true whether the source be moving subsonically or supersonically so long as it has non-zero velocity.
