Abstract
This chapter discusses local and global stability analysis of the wall jet. The boundary layer and shear flow phenomena make the wall jet a special case. An inflexion point in the base flow velocity profile and viscous effect near the wall makes it dual stability characteristics. The Reynolds number is computed based on the maximum velocity U<inf>max</inf> and wall jet thickness (δ ). The global stability computations are done for different inlet Reynolds numbers of 30, 40, 50, 80, 100 and 200 for different domain lengths.
