Abstract
Schlieren photographs of a small scale approximately two-dimensional air jet in air above the critical pressure have shown the existence of an instability displaying an anti-symmetric pattern, and the associated sound field having several distinguishing characteristics, has been photographed. An elementary theory based upon the hypothesis that the acoustic energy originates from the interaction of the stream disturbances with the shock waves of the flow, and connecting the stream disturbances with the radiated sound, is suggested. This is shown to be consistent with the physical dimensions of the phenomenon and predicts a sound field in reasonable agreement with that observed after certain simplifying assumptions have been made.
