Abstract

Three modes of instabilities in the slit-jet flow field are recognized. Additional evidence for the universality of the Strouhal number for the second mode ST = fw/U0 ≈ 0.43 and additional information on the wavelength (λ) between, and convection speed uc of the symmetrically placed, large-scale motions that result from this instability are presented. Specifically λ/w ≈ 1.2 and uc/U0 ≈ 0.51. The third instability mode is initiated at a Reynolds number U0w/v of approximately 1600; this instability results in a loss of the regular pattern associated with the large-scale motions.
