Abstract

The previously established criterion for the stability of a vortex sheet with respect to two-dimensional disturbances in a compressible fluid is extended to three-dimensional disturbances, and it is shown that disturbances travelling at sufficiently oblique angles with respect to the undisturbed flow are unstable. Slip-line instability downstream of a Mach reflexion is discussed briefly.
