Summary

A linear stability analysis was made for a radial wall jet. A perturbation method against the two-dimensional wall jet was used for the formulation, from which a non-homogeneous Orr-Sommerfeld equation was derived. The computation showed that disturbances are more unstable in the radial wall jet than in the two-dimensional case, which agrees qualitatively with an experimental evidence.
