Extract

The inviscid stability of the laminar mixing of two parallel streams of a compressible fluid is investigated with respect to three-dimensional wavy disturbances. The flow is more unstable as the angle between the disturbance-wave-number vector and the principal-flow direction exist even at very high Mach number, and the flow is still unstable. However, it is also found that increasing the Mach number of the flow tends to stabilize the flow.
