Abstract
The investigation concerns the stability of an interface between two inviscid fluids of different densities which flow parallel to each other in an oscillatory manner. When the difference in the mean speeds is below the steady, critical speed for instability but is large compared to the amplitude of the fluctuations, parametric amplification of waves at the interface occurs, and the interface exhibits a resonance of a subharmonic nature. The paper concludes with a discussion of the stability of unsteady shear layers on the basis of the results.
