Abstract

Recent experimental results in axisymmetric free jets are discussed with an emphasis on the dynamics of their self-forced states. The role played by the initial shear-layer instabilities and their coupling with subsequent jet instabilities is examined to reveal key mechanisms and scaling relations.
