Abstract
A linear analysis of the perturbations associated with the jet flow, $\overline{u}(y) = {\rm sech}\,y$, of an inviscid compressible fluid is considered. Some subsonic stable solutions, not associated with stability boundaries, are first determined. Then a subsonic neutral solution is found and used as an aid in determining stability boundaries of the symmetric and antisymmetric disturbance modes. Numerical methods are also used to determine instability characteristics, including the Reynolds stress distributions. Comparisons are made with previous results obtained for the hyperbolic-tangent velocity profile and with unstable characteristics of the Bickley jet.
