  Speaker:	Dr. Thomas Peacock, Department of Mathematics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA
  Title:	Micro-Active Forcing of a Planar Jet
  Time/Place:	4:00 p.m., Barus and Holley, Room 159

  Abstract:   The velocity profile of the planar jet was first obtained by Bickley, in 1937. Subsequent analysis revealed that the jet is unstable to two different modes, one symmetric and the other anti-symmetric about the jet centreline. This analysis, in combination with acoustic forcing experiments, resolved the issue of sensitive flames; a phenomenon first reported by LeComte, in 1858, and studied in ever more dramatic experiments by Lord Rayleigh.
